Lavender Afternoon 36x48

Heavy bodied acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas.  This painting was inspired by my visit to Hood River Lavender Fields.  I took Artist's license to pump up the color and add a little bit of change of seasons.  I took the inspirational picture for this painting myself.  There were green weed-like plants with tiny white flowers growing inbetween the rows of lavender.  I tried to capture this look and also make Mt. Hood a lot more visible.  It was a smokey, hazy day originally and the mountain was not quite as vivid.  Heavy texture used for most everything except the cabins and sky where I used a brush.
