Palavas les Flots
Palavas les Flots is a beautiful city on the sea in southern France with a canal that runs through the middle of it. The beach is fantastic, the weather hot and the food fantastic. Why anyone would go to Nice is beyond me. This is a hidden gem of a town. This painting is from a reference photo that was taken in early evening when the city shines.

A scene from atop Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, north west France. We actually stayed in a hotel on the property and had a great evening. One of the best parts is walking around when no tourists were around as it felt as if you were back in the 7th century. French Landscape :: Oil on Canvas :: 12×24″ ::...

This painting came together rather quickly as I aimed at simplifying the shapes of the trees and bushes.

The reference came from my travels in France back in July of 2010 although the mountains were added to give more depth. Glowing Meadow :: 12×24″ :: Oil on Canvas :: $850 Framed

Unfortunately, in the early 1990's it was demolished to make way for an expanding suburb. Home Town Memories :: 11×14 Oil on Board ::...
