A Painting A Week No 89

For Sale - 3rd August 2011

Le Marche, Cahors, France

Size: 21 x 15cm

Price A$90

(Postage and handling included)

From Skiathos, to France this week. No, I lie, sorry.....!  We've just arrived back in Koroni after two weeks way up in Northern Greece, near Kavala. A lovely part of the Greece and surprisingly, much busier than down here in the Peloponnese.

This painting is of the Saturday market in Cahors, the main city of the Lot district of France. Its a lovely city with a bustling tree lined main street. The market is held in a lovely square with its backdrop of the 11th century cathedral, and as with all French markets, its a delight of smells and colours, even on this cold winter's day.

More of the beautiful coloured baskets (or paniers) from the French markets. I've taken lots of photos of baskets of all shapes and sizes, but these fat bulbous ones are my favourites, though, I have yet to own one!  These were at the Uzes market this autumn.

Uzes Marche

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

We recently spent a week in Uzes, in the Gard, which is part of the Languedoc region of France and not so far from our old stomping ground! The weekly market, which happened in the square right underneath our bedroom windows, was amazing. On coming downstairs and opening the doors, all we could see was colour. From all the stalls with fruit and vegetables, dried fruit, nuts and everything edible imaginable, to the rows of beautiful scarves, pots, platters, and of course, my favourite - the assorted baskets (paniers) - everywhere..... colour! Perhaps it was the contrast between the stalls and umbrellas, and the fairly plain stone buildings of the Place aux Herbes, but it was probably the most colourful market I've come across in France so far. This will be the first of many paintings inspired from there.
