This week, I finished a two more paintings that have been waiting for me.  I'm very happy with the Lavender Fields.....the cypress trees made it fun to paint.  The 17 mile drive painting was one that I started after donating a similar one to the Incognito fundraiser at the Phil a couple of years ago.  So, my recent paintings are quite a conglomerate of places that I've visited in the recent past.

Today I posted three more paintings.  When I showed Mom my Happy Flowers, she laughed and said "that doesn't look like your painting!". She's right!  I started this with the knife, and just kind of went wild (well, wild for me anyway).  I could torture this one to death, but decided to leave it a bit raw and in the moment.  When I was in Provence, whenever we came upon a luscious sunflower field, Liz, the wife of the photography workshop leader, would excitedly declare  "HAPPY FLOWERS"!

This morning I finished this small painting of the warm, colorful town of Roussillon, France.  It's a take-off of the larger one that I completed previously.  Love those pink umbrellas!  I want to go back!
