Provence

For years I had read about artists that had oil painted in Provence and their love affair with the soft warmth of the Mediterranean sun.  It wasn’t until I went there a few years ago that I discovered it was everything the artists had painted.  The softness of the lighting from the sun, the warm ochres and siennas, and the clearness of the vision were all I dreamt it would be.  Every time I paint a landscape, a café scene or farmhouse in the mountains it brings me such joy and I am transported to Provence once again.
