Country House in France

Country House in France    8 x 10  Pastel on Canson

The clouds have been lightened and broken up some, and the painting is now framed.  It's a donation for an auction to benefit by the Southern Tennis Patrons on Friday evening.  Proceeds will help promising young players with expenses in playing tournaments throughout the United States.



I would like to thank those of you who offered advice on handling my cloud problem.  I tried to incorporate your suggestions, and while not as good as I would like, the painting is improved.


Country House in France     8 x 10 Pastel on Canson

We discovered this house with it's grape vineyard on a peaceful walk near the village of Bonneiux, in Provence.  It was a wonderful warm, spring day and I could have looked at the wonderful views the entire day.  Unfortunately, it was the last day of our stay before heading for the hustle and bustle of Paris.  I will carry the memory of Provence with me forever.
