Les Tournesols
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$80
(Plus A$10 postage and handling)

Aaah sunflowers, the French name tournesol translating as 'turning to the sun', which of course they do. I usually find if I see a big field of sunflowers, they're turning in the opposite direction to me, and I have to pick my time of the day to return and photograph them!

Arles Rooftops
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$80
(Plus A$10 postage and handling)

Arles is fascinating enough from the ground with all its tiny narrow streets and colourful facades, but when looking down on the miriade of rooftops, its enough to make one dizzy! I've painted various versions of this wonderful Roman city's rooftops and I'm sure there'll be more to come!

Fontaine de Vaucluse, Provence
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$80
(Plus A$10 postage and handling)

As soon as I stepped out of the car here, I was stunned by the colour of the water. I believe it changes throughout the seasons, but I clearly recall the vivid emerald greens and deep blues of the river running through and alongside the village. The village of Fontaine de Vaucluse, in the Luberon, is tiny and squeezed in against towering cliffs. It takes its name from the beautiful and mysterious spring feeding the river Sorgue. This spring, at the far end of the village, comes from deep underground and nobody knows how deep...!

Autumn in Les Tuileries, Paris
Acrylic & Ink Painting

Size: 21 x 15cm

Price A$80

(Plus A$10 postage and handling)

Le jardin des Tuileries is Paris's most central garden. From the 12th century, this area was occupied by roof-tile factories (tuileries meaning tiles) that were surrounded by pumpkin fields and in the 1500s a palace was built on the site and surrounded with extensive Florentine-inspired gardens. Its a truly beautiful park in all seasons - vivid with flowers and new growth in spring; leafy and cool in summer; brilliant with golden and rust colours (and crunching leaves) in autum; stark and elegant with rows of bare trees in the winter, especially stunning with a layer of snow! It offers a haven from the hectic Paris traffic in the surround streets.

Tourettes sur Loup, Provence
Acrylic & Ink Painting

Price A$80
(Plus A$10 postage and handling)

Back to French villages again this week. Tourettes is a lovely medieval village, about 15 kms inland between Cannes and Nice. It's perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Loup Valley, and like St Paul de Vence, a haven for artists. Its also known as The Violet Village, and this shy little flower is honored each year in March with a flower festival, decorated floats and a flower battle!
