Lavender fields meet the sea on a gray day…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Keys Creek Lavender Farms is a great place to plein air paint in North San Diego County. \u00a0It is a difficult subject however because the landscape there is hilly and chaotic with lots of visual clutter, such as outbuildings and sheds. \u00a0My first attempts at this painting were “wipeouts,” where I actually destroyed what I had painted in the background by wiping it off with a paper towel dipped in solvent. \u00a0Eventually I decided to invent my own background (because I can do that, you know?) and paint something to suit the beautiful lavender which sloped down the hill in front of me in real life.<\/p>\n

I chose the sea. \u00a0Hope you like it.<\/p>\n
