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.

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

It's hard to believe that the Danube River use to be treacherous at this spot as it takes a dramatic turn to the south.  Everything is so calm an peaceful as we stroll the cobbled streets of Grein, Austria.  The autumn fog rolling over the hills and the water calmly flowing by as we enjoy our Riesling.  The bells of St. Giles ring through the small town.  We take a moment to etch into our memories all the beauty of the Wachau Valley. 

This piece would work in a space that is dark red, burnt orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, white, beige, or wood.
