One of the most amazing and inspiring moments while in France was having lunch on the cliffs along the coast of the Mediterranean. The color! Oh dear the blue! Dare I say azure? The contrast of the cliffs, green hillsides, beach, sky and water were unreal. Top that off with a big ol' bottle of rosé, fresh fruit, cheese and baguette from the morning's market in Arles...
Needless to say this landscape made a huge impression on me (the rosé had nothing to do with it, I swear!). It was one of the first things I wanted to paint when I got home. I'm starting small, with some ACEOs but plan to work on some larger pieces soon. I added the first series to my shop last night.
Instead of painting the photos directly, I wanted to capture my feelings of being there. The sparkling sun, winding roads, overwhelming blue and ethereal horizon. With some whimsy.
