Lavandula (common name Lavender) is a genus of 39 species of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae. It is native to the Old World and is found from Cape Verde and the Canary Islands, southern Europe across to northern and eastern Africa, the Mediterranean, southwest Asia to southeast India. Many members of the genus are cultivated extensively in temperate climates as ornamental plants for garden and landscape use, for use as culinary herbs, and also commercially for the extraction of essential oils. The most widely cultivated species, Lavandula angustifolia is often referred to as lavender, and there is a colour named for the shade of the flowers of this species

Love the sketchy, botanical print look to this one, Darren. Congratulations on the recent sale.

elegant piece with probably excellent commercial potential. nice selective focus and textures. i would suggest for a future image of this kind just a dab or two of actual purple or lavender on the flowers...

Wonderful work Darren. I like the use of the texture and the simplicity of the image. Well done!
