I loved being in the lavender fields in France. They are magnificent and worth seeing. Lavender is a natural mood enhancer so, you will enjoy them even more. Love the way you portray them in your artwork. All the rows lead your eye to the house. The sky and mountains are done well and enhance the total artwork. Very nicely done, Linda.

    Thank you for your kind and generous review. I too, have to make myself slow down so that I do not rush my work. I find it helps to work on more than one at a time so that while you are waiting for a section to dry you can still work.

Comment from Starla Cascade


This is really nice! I love purple. The rows,placement of farmhouse with trees and mountains draw the eye in. Lavender rows show the different stages of development of the plant and flowering. Very well done on the sky.

Comment from Miranda Langston


Wow. This looks so beautiful. It looks like a lovely chateau in Provence to me. The flowers are very realistic. The mountains in the background and the sky are realistic, too and incredibly gorgeous.

A beautiful watercolor that captures the feel of the lavender fields in Normandy. The composition is attractive and the colors are beautiful.

Exactly what I would expect lavender fields to look like. Very well presented in the style of this artist. I appreciate that the mountains are the same color as the lavender. Nicely done.

This is my fav medium and you have made a marvelous job in using pointillism and the wash technique. Overall this is a lovely watercolour painting in its pure form. Well done!

Another gorgeous landscape with lavender fields. I love how you lead the eye into these rows of lavender. Your colors add so much beauty to your art work. Beautiful brush strokes and blending and shading of colors. Nice is the house in the distance with that gorgeous sky. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing! I love this!

Comment from ArtistCharles


Linda, this is a very pleasant image to view. The color and perspective in this works. You are correct that this medium can be very unforgiving, but I think you have handled it well. My main concern with this is that the sense of scale seems off. The relationship between the house in comparison to the flowers and the background doesn't feel correct IMHO. I do like the piece overall and think you have done a nice job presenting it.
