Mont-St-Michel
Acrylic & Ink Painting
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$80
(Plus $A10 postage and handling)

I painted this one from a photo I took a on a visit to Normandy a couple of years ago. Anyone who has been to Normandy is bound to have been astounded to see le Mont-St-Michel. Its an impressive sight; a tiny rocky island attached to the mainland, which is totally surrounded by water only twice a month. Sitting on a great granite base, it has one cobblestone street which climbs in three spirals to the towering Benedictine abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel, an architectural masterpiece built in the 13th century.

Puy L'Eveque is a stunning little village scrambling down the hillside towards the Lot River. I thought it was time to have a painting from my other 'much loved' area of France, The Lot.

For Sale - 11th May 2009

A Field of Poppies
Acrylic & Ink Painting
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$80
(Plus $A10 postage and handling)

Here we go again. This is the first painting I've done since arriving back in France last week. The brilliant red poppies are everywhere; along the side of the roads, great swathes of them across fields, in little patches on the roundabouts - there's no escape - hence this week's painting of a field near Caux, a nearby village.
