ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING EVERGREEN LAVENDER FARM VISTA

Hey Friends,  Here is an original oil landscape of the beautiful lavender farm in Appomattox, Va. owned by Bonnie Swanson.

It is 16x20 and will be hanging at the Jefferson Center's Holiday Show going up on Nov. 16th, 2015.

Hope you will be able to attend the show and visit the lavender farm next spring on Father's Day.  That is when the farm has their first event for the year.

Until then,

Twenty First in the Pollinator Series and one auction about to end

 

Hey Friends,  This is my latest addition to the Pollinator Series.  A Black Cap Chickadee, one of the sweetest birds around.  Done in a bold, graphic style.  Something different from the usual tree or garden.  Available tonight at 9pm eastern time on Ebay. Check it out.

 

And here is one that will probably end before this blog post ever makes it out into cyber land.  Does anyone have any idea why blog posts do not show up after publishing until the next day?

And here is one of the paintings I started Thursday while the DLP's were at Evergreen Lavender Farm in Appomattox area right off Rt. 460 East of Lynchburg.  The entire farm was beautiful and I want to paint a dozen more.  We never know but summer is such a busy time, I may get them done !
Haven't figured out yet what to do with these summer plein aire paintings.  I suppose the smart thing is frame them up and take to galleries.  See what the world thinks of them.

No. 18 in the Pollinator Series and Plein Aire at Evergreen Lavendar Farm

 

Hey Friends,  Moving on to #18 !  A gorgeous Raven waiting on a branch for a French fry !  This was started on a base of dictionary pages.  Up top left is the dictionary's definition of raven.  This pretty boy is for auction on EBAY, Click here.

 

But the good news of this day is We, the DLP's finally got to the beautiful "Evergreen Lavender Farm" just this side of Appomattox, Va. on Rt. 460.  Bonnie the owner, said "Sure come on over and paint.  She was happy to see us and a gracious host.

 

This is my first painting of the day.  I started with a magenta base instead o white canvas.  That is a beautiful pond in the distance.  With rows of lavender between us.

 

Here I'm pretty much finished.  Made a couple adjustments at home.

 

And here is one of Bonnie's donkeys.  She said they (there were 2 more hiding) did not like the heat so they hang out in their Donkey House during the day.

 

Here is a shot of the beautiful Bee Hives.  Can't wait to paint this !  Bonnie said she does not mess with these hives.  She has enough going on with the farm and making lavender products.  And I bought some really heavenly smelling stuff while there.
