Oil Painting Georgia Mountains - Cloudland Canyon

New painting now for sale in my ETSY store CLICK Image to go there.
You will also see some great close up pictures that will show you just how scrumptious it is. Lots of oil paint and texture.I painted this on Russian Linen which I love.

It is strong and I have to rougher type so it has great fiber/weaving texture.
The painting will have to be framed it not gallery wrapped.
A frame will set this off and add to it. I would go with a gold landscape frame.

Memories of Provence

I'd be leisurely walking back to my gite, taking my time, sitting under trees and chewing on small blades of grass while looking up in to the sky. After a while I put my watercolor pad under my arm, smiling from ear to ear, hurrying just a bit, to get home just before dark. A light gust of wind separates me from my straw hat, and blows it just across the row of lavender behind me. I Leave it without worry, knowing it will still be there tomorrow, I'll fetch it then when I come back. Back in my gite, I'd eat something simple, break little pieces off freshly baked baguette, I love that crunchy noise it makes, remembering my grandmother, who like me, loved plain bread and a glass of wine. Later I'd fall in to bed, thinking about how lucky I am, to be in this heavenly place. ~~~~~ The next day I do it all over, walking on air, free in the countryside among the wild lavender and olive trees.
