This coming summer I must travel to high desert country again….I just love the flora. This painting from Greg Sarris’ garden outside Sonoma, CA was painted on a road trip back in 2011.

It sold via Etsy yesterday.

Greg Sarris’ garden provides so many lovely painting scenes; I have yet to finish them all.

Can you smell the lavender and hear the grass rustling while the bees buzz around?

In the early morning beside the Klamath River, you might spot a bear across the way, or a blanket of flog seeping in and out with the tide, or a buzzard looking for fishing scraps.

I’m spending a day at Greg Sarris’ home in Sonoma County, California, with friends. His garden that wraps around the home is spectacular with large lavenders, olive and bay trees, a kidney pool, lizards, and many native plants.

We listened to the coyotes and owls last night and hear the bees buzzing as they spend their day in the lavender.

This image is a diptych; two panels painted together.

I’ll frame them separately, but if you wanted, they can be framed together.

I painted them in oil on claybord, but was going for a watercolor effect, which I pulled off.

I invented much of the color to add some life to a sometimes washed-out scene.
