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.
