La Maison Lavandre SOLD

Happy Easter!
This one has tried on a few titles;
'The Purple Palace',
'The Mauve Mansion',
'Queen of Aubergine',
('The Lilac or The Lavender Lady' were quickly discarded),
but 'La Maison Lavandre' has
a playful elegance fitting to this regal home.
(I recently read that purple and orange are spirit colors,
and this purple palace has spirit!)

'La Maison Lavandre'
oil on canvas
24 x 12
SOLD
(To an oh so elegant and playful spirited woman.)

  1. This has such an imaginative, whimsical feel. It would make a wonderful illustration for a book. I want to know all about the person, or creature, occupying this beautiful, mysterious, creative house!

  21. I'm intrigued with the playful composition of this piece. It's as if the house is taking a giant breath to fit into the skinny space. It makes it somehow seem alive. Very creative!
