Memories of Les Bassacs - Croagne Path encore


Path to Croagne 
48" x 48"  -  acrylic on canvas  -  SOLD
A year ago I was painting in the Luberon Valley with Arts in Provence. It was my third painting experience there in four years and it just gets better and better each time. I recently finished this large canvas featuring the path that leads from the house to Croagne in the hills nearby. I have done several paintings of this particular view, but this is the first using a square format. I am really happy with the sense of energy that the strong brushstrokes, light and spiralling composition suggest.

Near the Hamlet of Croagnes in the Luberon

Near Croagnes in the Luberon
24" x 20" - acrylic on canvas 

The hamlet of Croagnes is behind the hamlet of Les Bassacs, or so it seemed to me when I took myself off for a walk on the Saturday between my two weeks there in May. Of course I took lots of photos and one inspired the composition for this painting. Here are some of the other views too.
