I
have been to France several times, most recently in the spring of 2003.
During my travels I had the great fortune to paint on location in Provence
and Giverny. My travels began in the Provincial village of Lourmarin,
which is located in the foothills of the magnificent Luberon Mountains.
When I was in Lourmarin, I painted a slightly smaller version of this
scene en plein air (on site). I will never forget the friendliness of
passers-by, who complimented my work and encourged me as I worked in the
hot sun. I have painted different versions of this scene a few times now,
each time with a slightly different emphasis and perspective. The view
is engrained in my memory, and it always brings me joy when I think of
it. I hope you enjoy viewing this painting as much as I enjoyed painting
it!
