A Painting a Week - No 41



For Sale - 28th January 2010

Portofino, Italy
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$80
(Plus A$10 postage and handling)

I know I said the next painting would be a French winter scene, but somehow I haven’t quite finished, nor I suspect, has the French winter! As I write this its cold with a howling wind and more snow is expected in many parts of France. We fly out of Paris next Tuesday so suddenly the prospect of snow is a little less exciting! Yesterday though, we spent exploring the centre of Avignon, trudging through the crisp freshly fallen snow – it certainly lends a little atmosphere to my usual photos!

On Sunday we fly up to Paris for two nights and then on to Sydney until the end of March (with a week in NZ in early Feb). I'm very much looking forward to seeing all those friendly faces again!

So, in the meantime, here’s a little painting ‘I prepared earlier’. We called into Portfino on our drive back from Greece in November. Being off season it was very quiet and I was able to photograph it without the tourists. I hope to continue the weekly paintings whilst on the move again - let's see how I manage?!

Languedoc Autumn
Size: 15 x 21cm
Price A$80

Its certainly not autumn here any more, but I do have great memories of the brightly coloured vines in the fields all around us. I will try and tackle something 'wintery' for my next painting - something to portray the freezing cold, wind and snow that France has been having!

A Painting a Week - No 39



For Sale - 5th January 2010
[SOLD]
At the Beach, Stoupa, Greece
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$80
(Plus A$10 postage and handling)

I’ve started the year with another beach painting – the photo was taken in the summer in a little Greek town called Stoupa, in the Peloponnese. Painting something like this helps me get through the cold weather we’re having in France right now, though we're on the Mediterranean coast, so are not getting the snow like most of France, which is, as far as I’m concerned is a bit of a pity really!
