I feel a little silly writing that your colors are beautiful. Obviously, lavender fields would be beautifully colored.
But this lavender field is quietly, richly beautiful and the colors surrounding it have the same serene, rich beauty. You've grayed everything just enough to make the sweeps of color work so well together.

How utterly lovely and so calming just before I get ready for bed on this, the other side of the Atlantic!

Thank you, Julian.

Elaine

PS: love the far distant fields of lavender too. Skilfully done.

Deb Dewar

I love the subtle way you capture the moment Julian! Your paintings are an inspiration and take me back to my time in France...

Dear Julian, one can never have enough of lavender fields and this one is a case in point!
The summer paintings are a gorgeous tapestry of colours and textures. The iconic lavender field a key note.

The harvest is in full swing and each time I go to Sault there are fewer fields to choose from
