She started in Paris, visiting many of the parks where the early impressionists and post-impressionists were inspired to paint. Then she took a river boat along the Seine River, stopping in Giverny to see Monet's Garden and Rouen to see "Monet's" cathedral, and ending in Le Havre and Etretat. From the cliffs of Normandy, she traveled south to the vineyards of Bordeaux. There, she found the water lily farm that supplied Monet with his water lilies. The farm is still in business and breeds hundreds of varieties of water lilies. From Bordeaux, she traveled east through Provence, exploring the different places van Gogh lived, from Arles to Saint-Remy-de-Provence, where she saw his room in the asylum. She visited Aix-en-Provence, where Cezanne lived, and saw the mountain he painted many times from the park Cezanne stood in and painted. Erin next visited the high plateaus of eastern Provence, where the lavender and sunflower fields grow against the dramatic backdrop of the Swiss Alps. The trip ended in the warm Mediterranean winds of the French Riviera. Erin woke up before dawn each day, catching the golden hour and sunset hours as she moved across France. Needless to say, Erin acquired a lifetime of inspiration from her trip, and you can follow along as she creates her new collection of French works by bookmarking this page here: [The France Collection]( You are Invited to REFLECTIONS of the SEINE: Inspirations from France Gallery Open House Event D A T E + T I M E Saturday, September 14th, 2024 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm L O C A T I O N 1805 NE Colvin Ct McMinnville, Oregon ["Impressions of the Seine" Release Party]( Sunflowers in Provence Original Oil Painting by Erin Hanson 36 x 48 inches $32,800 Exploring southern France, I was inspired by the high plateaus in Provence, which are covered in endless lavender fields. Tucked among the lavender fields, I discovered this field of sunflowers right as the sun came up over the mountains. The rich, saturated colors of early morning are captured in this oil painting, while thick, lavish brush strokes bring to life the beauty of the sunflowers.

This painting captures the beautiful lavender fields of Provence, captured during the golden light of dawn. The stone house nestled among the cypress trees demanded to be included in the painting. [PAINTING DETAILS]( [TEXTURED replicas]( [CANVAS prints]( Sunset at Etretat Original Oil Painting by Erin Hanson 40 x 60 inches $43,000 This is the first painting I created after my recent inspirational trip to France to follow in the footsteps of the Impressionists. I started out in Paris, visiting many of the parks where the early impressionists and post-impressionists painted. Then I took a river boat along the Seine River, stopping in Giverny to see Monet's Garden and Rouen to see "Monet's" cathedral, and ending in Le Havre and Etretat. This painting of Etretat captures the stunning white limestone cliffs on the northern coast of Normandy, France. Monet was inspired to paint this same unique rock formation 140 years ago.
