Lavender Fields in Red - At Least I Think It's Red

I'm pretty much lavender, purple, and violet color challenged. So, I changed and saturated the colors of the reference photo in Photoshop Elements to where I was comfortable with what I saw. Using the PSE image, I gave myself permission to paint this radically tweaked landscape.

I'm looking forward to painting a 30" x 40" version of this study. The interpretation of the lavender in the larger version will be a bit more blue.

A friend of mine, Larry Carlson, recently self-published a book of insightful and touching prose entitled,"What Is He Doing Now?".

Pages from the book can be read at http://www.blurb.com/books/412596. (Click on the book cover to open the book. Click on each large page to turn the pages. Right click to zoom in.)

I was honored that Larry included a detail of one of my paintings to illustrate his Introduction on Page 4.
