Getting ready to paint!
I’ve been looking forward to our time in Provence to stay with very good friends and very excited on arrival to see the lavender fields in full bloom around the house 🙂
My first glorious morning in the lavender
Since it was our holiday there were many things we needed to do together, which meant my painting time was short and the weather also wasn’t brilliant … a very cold wind blew for a few days and it was also rather gloomily cloudy some of the time.
I had chosen very small painting boards (18cm x 25cm) so it would be possible to finish something reasonably quickly and it was heaven to stand in the midst of lavender with the perfume wafting over me, with the thrum of many, very happy bees.
Lavender, Cypress trees and the coming storm

Fabulous, and lucky you to be in Provence. I love the first painting in particular. Lovely lavender, I have missed your blog posts.
Thank you! I’ve been very lax of late trying to keep up with a blog, but it’s nice now that I’m finding time to paint outside. Provence was wonderful 🙂
Glorious colours Lizzie!
Thank you Essie xx
