A Painting A Week No 103

For Sale - 24th April 2012
Près de l'arène Romaine, Arles
Size: 15 x 21cm
Price A$90
(Postage and handling included)

I've been intending to do a painting of this street corner in Arles for ages. Each time I go to the Roman Arena there, and look down onto the town and rooftops, this interesting little corner opposite, crammed with the green and red umbrellas, Pizzeria signs, plants, and tableclothes for sale, 'jumps out' at me! I spent a week in Arles a few years ago, and suspect I may have photographed nearly every corner, door and shutter in this old Roman town. I'm always happy to go back there though.

Fenêtres, Arles
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$90
(Postage and handling included)

I've always loved the shutters and blinds on these windows near the Roman Arena in Arles. I've visited Arles a few times over the past few years and they always seem to look bright and new - I wonder what the secret is!

Arles is a lovely Roman town in the Camargue region of France. It's full of tiny narrow streets with a huge array of colourful windows, doors and shutters. I spent a couple of weeks there a while back and only managed to photograph a small percentage of them - and that was a lot!

Van Gogh's Sanctuary, Arles

I discovered this spot a few years ago when I spent a couple of weeks in Arles and did little apart from wander around the town and take photos. This was the hospital where Van Gogh spent some time - not sure whether it was after he chopped off his ear or during one of his rather frequent bouts of depression! It is relatively difficult to find unless you know where to look for it, or just stumble across it like I did as its almost amongst the old shopping streets. Van Gogh actually did do a beautiful painting here called Courtyard in the Hospital in Arles.

A Painting a Week - No 32

For Sale - 2nd November 2009
Arles Rooftops
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$80
(Plus A$10 postage and handling)

Arles is fascinating enough from the ground with all its tiny narrow streets and colourful facades, but when looking down on the miriade of rooftops, its enough to make one dizzy! I've painted various versions of this wonderful Roman city's rooftops and I'm sure there'll be more to come!
