Bonnieux

I am a day behind in writing these posts......yesterday we went to Bonnieux, a lovely village with wonderful views within the village itself, as well as big landscape views towards the horizon.

                  

I painted a tree - don't ask why I chose that from all the other great possibilities, because I have no answer!  

So here is the view and my interpretation.

                      

In the afternoon I worked on another painting that I really like, of a meadow with this lovely big tree, around the house in Les Bassacs.

Pine Tree at Bonnieux 'rouge'
12" x 9" - water colour

Both paintings are based on some fabulous trees at Bonnieux – a perched village in Provence – where I spent a morning painting, earlier this summer. I loved the negative spaces created by the fluid, curving tree branches. I enjoyed working in water colour for a change - a medium that lent itself to creating the shapes of the foliage and playful colour.
