It's a sure thing now, I'll be having a solo show at a popular restaurant next March. Years ago I would had been in a rush to start painting but I'm actually fixing some paintings that I did on location this summer. Somehow it doesn't feel right to start new work when there are paintings begging to be finished. This also gives me time to think what I would like to paint from the tons of reference photos I have, and hopefully a theme will emerge.This painting is from Lockwood Farm in Skaneateles. By chance, this past spring I learned that there was a lavender farm in the area and without waiting too long I contacted the owner, Karen, who very gracefully invited me to paint at the farm. She also has sheep, and a very friendly barn cat who almost knocked my pastel box when he jump on it! Check out her blog and enjoy the beautiful photographs.

Congratulations! I'll look forward to seeing the work you put together for it.
Thank you Elaine! Nice to hear from you!
Congrats on the upcoming solo show - that's exciting! I love lavender and anything to do with lavender and this is a really nice painting!
Thank you Donna! I do not know if it's the color or something else, but I love lavender too. Maybe we can go to Provence together just to paint lavender someday!
I recently visited a Lavender Farm on Long Island. I love the smell, and color of the lavender plant. Very therapeutic!! Great painting!
