Windfall Purlieu - Lavendar selected for Oregon Soceity of Artists Fall Juried Show



Windfall Purlieu is a beautiful farm just up the hill from the Sandy River.  It is on Woodard Road in Corbett, Oregon.  The owner,  Alison Knieriem, grows 5 different kinds of lavender and fields of sunflowers.  It is a beautiful farm.  I love driving past her fields on my way home and often stop to buy a bundle of lavender or a bouquet of sunflowers .  It was early evening when I glanced over at her lavender fields and what I saw inspired this painting-
Windfall Perlieu - Lavender
 Windfall means blessing
Purlieu means the area near or surrounding a place
