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?

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.

Fifteen years ago, Marie le Glatin Keis led her first group of wannabe artists to Provence where she inspired us for 8 days. We sketched, ate local, and shared great views.
Her inspiration is far reaching and continues to be the reason I paint. Her presence is felt even in her absence.
