Poppies and Wheat Fields

Poppies and Wheat Fields
Commugny, Switzerland
7" x 11"
Watercolor on paper
Poppies grow beautifully among the wheat in the farm fields just outside of our gates. I am wondering if the farmer puts them there to keep the bugs away from his wheat crop... assuming that poppies ward off bugs, of course. No matter what the reasons are, it's wonderful to see the beautiful and bright warm reds against the cool blues in the landscape. Misty Jura mountains in the background....

Chateau de Chillon, Switzerland


Chateau de Chillon
Watercolor on paper

Chateau de Chillon is the most visited castle in Europe, made famous by Lord Byron's The Prisoner of Chillon. It's located just 40 minutes drive from our house, so we take our guests to visit the Chateau a lot. Come to visit us and we'll take you there... except that we only have a few weeks left before we move... so hurry!
