The South of France


Oil on wood panel 8" x 6" £55 (British pounds) plus postage & packing

This is the same view as with the couple (see painting below),but after all the people had disappeared there was one lone scooter standing there in the shade. I thought how typical this view was of the south of France; terracotta buildings, narrow streets, deep light and shadow contrasts and a little triangle of blue at the top.

Thank you M. I used more Indian red, a bit of burnt sienna and yello ochre on that one.
