This painting is a love letter to a childhood dream and to the gentle hills of Provence, where endless fields of lavender stretch across the landscape like waves of purple under the warm golden sun. When I was young, I told my mother that one day I wanted to live in the south of France, to spend my days painting these hillsides and capturing their quiet beauty.
In Lavender Lane, I tried to bring that memory to life through the vivid colors of blooming lavender, glowing golds of sunlit earth, and rich veridian greens that blend with deep, endless blues of the sky. The colors seem to hum with the scent and warmth of the region, a place I have carried with me in my heart for many years.
Painting this scene allowed me to step back into that dream and reconnect with the light, the peaceful rhythm of the fields, and the timeless magic that makes Provence feel like a world apart.
