A Painting A Week No 93


















For Sale - 14th September 2011
The Flamingos of the Languedoc
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$90
(Postage and handling included)

One doesn't really associate flamingos with France, but near Montpellier, on the edge of the Camargue, there are numerous lagoons and canals, and that's where you'll find the flamingos!  Depending upon the time of the year (the majority do migrate south in the winter), you can see groups of them standing in the water, heads down whilst feeding on the salt shrimp which gives them their colour, or heads waving about in the air. Apart from the Camargue, south of Arles, the flamgoes mostly frequent the marshes near Palavas les Flots and on any trip through there, I've had the camera at the ready to photograph them - always tricky to find them in the right spot.
