"Lavender and Poppies" is a very large "Trompe L'oeil", depicting fields of lavender and poppies stretching into the distance, as seen through the window of an ancient stone building. The window naturally frames the painting and the elegant curtains draped on either side add depth, while the vibrant lavender fields and scattered poppies bring bursts of colour. The beauty of the countryside stretches far into the distance to meet the horizon.
One can almost smell the fragrant lavender, as a light breeze ruffles the window curtain. The peaceful, rural scene is typical of provincial South of France.
