Lavender Festival Paintout - Parrot Creek Herb Farm




We had a terrific time at the Parrot Creek Herb Farm today. We met the owners, Debbie and Dave, who made us very welcome! This is one seriously beautiful place. Views of the hills, trees, barns in addition to a lovely lavender patch. Lavender is just starting to show color, it should be brighter next week. There is some really pretty pink grass next to the lavender field, absolutely stunning with the purple.

The beds of culinary lavender on the other side and down the hill have a lot of color.

Autumn Reflections


Autumn Reflection
9x12 Pastel

A plein air piece from my favorite location on Sauvie Island. I waited all summer for the water to reappear in the low lying areas on Rentenaar Road. The colors in the fields are spectacular starting in mid October.
