21st painting for the month. (Yep, I have to catch up.) 
There's a great little boutique, right off the main square and next to where I was standing painting. If you like linen clothing, it's great. If you like gelato, you can get some a few paces away. Gordes was featured a few times in "A Good Year" the movie with Russell Crowe and Marion Cotillard. 
This painting has been accepted into the Forest & Ocean Gallery for Laguna Plein Air's next show coming up in February, 2016. ‪#‎LPAPA‬'s ‪#‎30paintingsin30days‬.

30 Paintings in 30 Days #11 Lavender Field

#11 Lavender Field

Lavender Field

After a long afternoon of scouting before the guests arrived, we headed back for a glass of something cool and regional. We were in the Côtes du Rhone after all. We drove past this farm house and in unison decided "Let's paint that!" A quick U-turn, we pulled off the road and whipped out our gear in a race before the golden hour ended. I managed to start this sketch, then got distracted photographing my artist friends thigh-deep in lavender. See Instagram for those pics. Oh well I never finished it there. But I did manage to complete it 6 months later in the studio.

Uneven slabs of ancient stone, sunlight playing with advancing shadows, dust motes suspended in summer air - humming cicadas and bumble bees. Pass my paints please.

Luberon Village

Finding villages like this one is what 'traveling' in France is all about. These are place where tourist buses don't go. Every one has its own unique charm and this is what we set out to paint when we find them. This is Joucas, charming little village - a stop on our 'Lavender Route' when we paint there in June.
