A Painting A Week No 129 - Virginian Creeper, Chateau Biron

For Sale - 27th August 2013 
Virginian Creeper, Chateau Biron
Size: 15 x 21cm
(Postage and handling included)

I took this photo during my first French sojourn in the Lot district in 2003. I've always loved the photo and intended to paint it, and its taken me this long!  Its a start, but I would like to attempt a large canvas - will add it to the list.

I was visiting Chateau Biron at the time, and was captured by the gold and red Virginian Creeper climbing on the stonework inside the courtyard walls of the Chateau.  Its been a long time, but I still remember it clearly!

A Painting A Week No 77

Poppies and Haybales, Le Lot
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$90
(Postage and handling included)

I remember precisely when I took this photo. I was driving along the roads between Frayssinet le Gelat and Gourdon and saw this magnificent field of poppies. For some reason I was unable to stop to take photos - most unusual for me, but I promised myself to return the following day.  I did, and was just in time to get photos of what was left of the field - the tractors had been in and the haybales had appeared. If I'd been a couple of hours later, the poppies would have disappeareared altogether. This became a somewhat frequent occurrence, and a lesson learned!

A Painting a Week - No 75

For Sale - 22nd February 2011
Saint Cirq Lapopie
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$90
(Postage and handling included)

Saint Cirq Lapopie in France, is a tiny hillside village overlooking the River Lot, and is a 'must' to see when visiting the Lot region. With its medieval fortress and church sitting proudly above the village, and the little village houses spreading down the hillside towards the winding road, it provides some stunning photos as you head up towards the village. Saint Cirq Lapopie has been a haven for many artists throughout its time, and there are some wonderful galleries tucked into the tiny streets, as well as good restaurants and fascinating shops. It has already been the subject of a few of my paintings, and I know I sound like I'm working for the tourist office, but it is well worth visiting if you're in the region!
