Fields of Lavender

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty

Our bikes race up and down the gentle hills of Provence.  Everything has a distinct texture, the colors are vibrant, and the perfume in the air is intoxicating.  And every twisting road we turn down has countless rows of purple and blue lavender.  The heat of the Mediterranean sun presses against our backs as we pedal back to the village of Sault.  I'll never forget the fields of France.

Do you feel your life is balanced? Why or why not? And what impact will it have on you next year?

This painting would look best in a small space that is dark red, yellow, orange, green, blue, white, black, grey, beige, or wood.
