There was a window of lovely light which I wanted to capture. To be bold in the mark making, blocking in and simplifying the shapes and keeping the colours fresh to help show the light.
I am now back home from the French trip. It's been hard keeping up with blogging the paintings. I got up every morning to paint at 5-6am. And painting solidly everyday, cleaning my brushes and falling in to bed at midnight! I will post the paintings I've done on this trip over the next few days. It's been so inspiring and wonderful being immersed in a painting world with fellow artists for 9 days. I did 15 paintings & 6 sketches...
the painting is luminous and utterly charming in its simplicity......
