A Painting A Week No 121 - Languedoc Harvest

For Sale - 11th February 2013
Languedoc Harvest
Size: 21 x 15cm
(Postage and handling included)

Another appropriate painting this week as we're here in the Languedoc again. There're no golden leaves left on the grapes now, but the countryside is still looking beautiful with its rows of bare vines, the golden sandy soil, and the huge skies.  We're staying with friends in the lovely village of Magalas, and seem to be spending an awful lot of time driving along what I always think of as 'Napoleon's French roads'! - long and straight and lined on either side with rows of bare plain trees, their silver trunks sparkling in the winter light.

A Painting A Week No 116 - Autumn Colours, Languedoc

For Sale - 20th November 2012
Autumn Colours, Languedoc
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$90
(Postage and handling included)

When we were in the Languedoc region of France recently, everything was bursting into vibrant autumn colour. Autumn was my favourite season when we lived there, and I particularly love the changes in the thousands of hectares of grape vines in the area. Different rows seem to change to different colours, and each field seems to change at different times (if you get my drift!), so you have a glorious evolving patchwork effect everywhere you look.

I took this photo near the village of Villeveyrac.  We were cruising through the area and James and I both immediately spotted this view, with the coloured trees in the foreground just adding to the picture. I loved the row of olive trees near the centre of the picture as well!
