For Sale - 26th January 2011
Gone Swimming, Koroni
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$90
(Postage and handling included)

As mentioned in my email, I think there is something rather appealing about people's abandoned beach umbrellas sitting on the sand whilst they're in the water, or perhaps, trudging up and down the beach. I took this photo of ours while we were swimming down at our local Meme Beach during the summer. This was our second umbrella this year!

Roses at the Chateau
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$90
(Postage and handling included)

When I was doing one of my little French jaunts a few years ago, I was wondering about somewhere to stay in the Charente on my way up to the Loire Valley, and a friend suggested Chateau Mouillipede. I usually stayed in B&B's so this was a real treat, once I found it! It had a wonderful imposing driveway, and the chateau was set in lovely grounds and gardens with the odd crumbling stone building just to add to the ambience. This painting is from one of the many photos I took of the beautiful gardens. My room was massive, with creaking floorboards and big windows overlooking the wheat fields below. Just to add a bit of flavour see the photos below!

Saignon over the Lavender
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$90
(Postage and handling included)

Saignon is a lovely hilltop village in the Luberon area of Provence, and although I've been there at various times, I've never actually been to the village when the lavender has been flowering! However, this painting just wouldn't have been complete without it. Fields of lavender are such a evocative and memorable part of a French summer, and I'm determined to conquer a nice loose way of painting them!

Siena, Piazza del Campo
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$90
(Postage and handling included)

Siena was rather impressive despite the tourists, and I would think the subject of the painting, Piazza del Campo, or Il Campo, as the locals call it, would take a huge amount of people before it felt crowded anyway. Its a massive space! This is the site of the famous Palio di Siena - the horse race which takes place twice annually, with bare back jockeys on horses hurtling around the Piazza as they did in medieval times,though I believe they then raced buffalo and donkeys.

Another wonderful discovery in Siena was the mindboggling array of beautiful handbag and shoe shops. So many of them side by side and all seemed excellent quality and well priced. I will have to get back there soon to have a good look around for sure.
