I have stayed here for several days. Alone in the wilderness with only the things I can carry in my backpack. I've been rationing my food and water to extend my time here. There's an intensity to the evening sun that is counter-balanced by the darkness of the soil. A delicate harmony to everything.

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

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 lavender and yellow sunflowers. 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.

It's framed by Gianluca Moretti using yellow poplar wood, and finished with acrylic semi glossy. Gianluca is a woodworker that I partner with on Etsy. You can see more of his frames and more of his pieces at his shop located at: www.etsy.com/shop/MorettisCreations.

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

It was a late start from Avignon as we lingered at a cafe savoring our coffee and croissants. A warm breeze with a sweet scent was blowing as we hiked our way toward Carpentras. My backpack filled with necessities like snacks, water, and wine. It will come in handy when we find a beautiful place to rest our worn feet. Perhaps overlooking the rolling hills of sunflowers.

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

I follow the winding path not knowing where I'll end up. The trees rustle in the breeze stirring up the aromas of the forest. A freshness one always has to remind themselves of in civilization. The light refracts in strange ways at this time. It's when the surreal becomes the real.

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