Provence Paintings
Art of the French Countryside

France is such an amazing country filled with diversity and great beauty. The region of Provence abounds with fields of poppies, sunflowers, and lavender bursting with fragrance and color. Southwestern France has its own unique character, with winding rivers, bucolic pastures, and charming medieval villages. And one can't overlook Normandy, where Monet created his beautiful gardens in Giverny. Everywhere you turn, there are hundreds of paintings in the making, and I feel so fortunate to have painted there en plein air. The beauty of this country and its people keep me returning again and again.

About the Painting: One of the remarkable features about the landscape in this corner of France was the dramatic way the light would shift. You could be driving in a valley covered by enormous, low-lying clouds, and drive over a hill to the next valley filled with brilliant sunshine. It could be quite a challenge for the plein air painter, but it did make for some amazing skies and cloud shadows–kind of like the things you see in a nature film that uses time-lapse photography. This is what I was trying to capture in this birds-eye view painting looking down on the Dordogne river and valley. It is one of several stunning vistas I saw from the top of the Chateau de Beynac.
