France
is such an amazing country filled with diversity and great beauty.
The region of Provence abounds with fields of poppies, sunflowers,
and lavender bursting with fragrance and color. Southwestern France
has its own unique character, with winding rivers, bucolic pastures,
and charming medieval villages. And one can't overlook Normandy, where Monet created his beautiful gardens in Giverny. Everywhere you turn, there are hundreds
of paintings in the making, and I feel so fortunate to have painted
there en plein air. The beauty of this country and its people keep
me returning again and again.
