"Fields of Lavender"  Pastel, 11x14 image


Painted Plein Air on location at the Mt. Shasta Lavender Farms

Every year the owners of this Lavender Farm invite artists to come and paint their amazing lavender fields with the backdrop of snow covered Mt Shasta. It is a breathtaking scene in any kind of weather. This day the thunderclouds were forming and you could feel the approaching storm in the air. I packed up quickly and finished in the studio with a few highlights of blue on the distant fields and played with the clouds and lighting on the mountain to capture the feel of the approaching storm with scattered sunlight peeking through.
