THANKS KETTLEFEST!

Had a great time at KettleFest (http://www.kettlefest.com/) this weekend at Kettle Ridge Farm (http://www.kettleridgefarm.com/).  Met a lot of great people, made lots of sales, and discovered Pie on a Stick (https://www.facebook.com/starlabakeandbrew/).  Thanks to Joe and Chris Hurley for putting on such a wonderful event.

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 yellow, orange, blue, white, or beige

There's a cool breeze blowing through the humid lowland swamp.  The scent of rosemary mixes with the aroma of the moist acidic clay soil.  The towering Loblolly Pine slightly sways in the wind.  There's a thud of a green pine cone at random intervals.  The sun retreats into the hills after another day of blistering heat.  

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

Steam races off my coffee in the cool morning air.  My feet wet from the dew balanced on the blades of grass.  The sun slowly climbs the horizon of the lake.  Still and silent enough to allow most of us to sleep.  Bright and intense to allow the animals to start their day's work.

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

A fan oscillates near the window of nearly window of the house.  Yet the air remains still with heat and sticky with humidity.  The ice in my drink melts in an instant.  The grass is brown and the flowers all wilt.  It's the perfect day to swim in the pool.

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