Lavender Fields, Poppies in the Storm

Breathtakingly beautiful!! I love all of your work but this is definitely a favorite.

Another beautiful piece!

I can really see California in this art piece . . . what a wonderful perspective . . . the sky really brings it all together . . . love the hot orange . . .

Thank you Adrian. And Sande. And thank you Brad. Thank you Ruth. It was interesting for all the elements. There’s more lavender in the lavender fields than showed up but I couldn’t adjust the color without losing the foreground for some reason. Maybe too much yellow in my light bulb.
I’m getting better at taking pictures of my work due entirely to the brilliant photographers here. I really study what you do, and am continually impressed by the effort made and needed for perfect captures of land, sea, animals and people you take.

Stunning again your a true colourest of the highest quality!
Also u probly know this and just couldn’t wait to get it up here, but take your painting’s outside and use natural light to capture your stuning work on camera it works a treat :D

Thanks bites, for the heartwarming complements, and also for the excellent advice. Dopey of me really, I never seem to get inspired to take photos til the dark of night. I have so much to live up to here, looking at the photographs with my jaw on my knees, filled with admiration for all you all do.

stunning, inspiring colours and wonderful depth in the image, wonderful work barbara :-)

Thank you so much Hank. It means so much. The photographers here, like yourself, have given me the most wonderfully intimate closeups of skies, and it’s helped with my painting.

Beautiful work!

Love the depth and perspective and feel in this painting. Wonderful bold and beautiful colours.

Another stunning painting and i have such a weakness for poppies, love this Barbara

Me, too, I love these things, every look is like a kiss. There’s a field near me, a cow pasture, that in spring absolutely FILLS with blue lupin and orange poppies. The roadsides get dangerously crowded with photographers, it never looks the same but always makes you want to pass out. The cows just add to it. I may try and paint it this spring.
Thanks for all your wonderful comments, Sharon.

great work

Amazing work Barbara – the colours are brilliant

Masterful! I love the feelings your work evokes every time I look at your paintings or read your writings! A true talent you are and I am so glad to have found you.
