JOANNE LAVENDER MORNING DANCE OF SHADOWS

12” x 16” — Oil $800

JOANNE LAVENDER • WAOW Associate • CO • www.joannelavender.com The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration. --- Claude Monet When I came to Colorado the Western landscapes spoke to me as a person and an artist. I have worked to represent our open spaces with simple abstract shapes in an impressionist style.
