I wanted to update everyone on the Lavender Fest.
I had a wonderful time although the rain kept drizzling down I didn't set up or paint.
I took some pictures that I'll paint from and will be returning when the skies are brighter.
Here's one of the rows of Lavender and you can see the storm clouds coming.


and another this time a close up of the Lavender.



I did treat myself to a small Provence Lavender plant.

Chat soon,
Rebecca Make it a Beautiful day.

Happy Mother's Day

Spring Poetry
18" x 24" Plein Air Pastel, May 7th 05

I asked for a flower, and God gave me a tree.
I asked for a bouquet and God gave me Spring.
As a child I asked for Love and God gave me a Mother.

Happy Mother's Day!

This piece is absolutely one of my favorite pastel works from a few years ago and will stay in my collection.
I'll never forget how warm and windy the day was. As I stood with my easel in the grass and my children sat on the lawn next to me with their pastels and sketch paper. Together we drew this gorgeous flowering crab apple tree on Mother's Day.

While I was drawing I asked my son to run inside and grab a pencil and scrap piece of paper as the poem formed in my mind.

To all the Mother's I know,
I celebrate you today for your incredible love of your children.

All the best today and always,

~Rebecca
