I spent a morning in the delightful Provencal village of Saignon last summer - mostly walking around in the sunshine and enjoying the quiet streets and magnificent views overlooking the valley. I was looking for the perfect view to paint when I came upon this scene. I did a small water colour for fun, but resolved to paint it again once home. Many months later this is the result. I particularly like the contrast between straight (vertical and horizontal) lines and those curved ones of the car, windows and doors, and the freeform lines of the vegetation and cast shadow.

I (finally) finished the painting I have been working on! 'June' posed for our painting group one morning and as I drew her she talked about when she was her twenties and first met and then married her husband (during WWII). She was a wonderful model and radiated positive energy and light as she reminisced.

I actually have been painting - just not posting - because works are still in progress. However, I did complete this small still life quite recently. Pears are my 'go-to' subject when looking around my kitchen for something to paint. I find apples more challenging, because of the reds.

Below is what I started yesterday. It is the first of two paintings based on a recent drawing session with my painters group here in Florida. I haven't painted figures in a long time, and I am quite excited about them, so far. Stay tuned!

I am presently in the land of snow and was feeling the need for some intense colour.
