| Saint-Cirq-LaPopie 8 x 10 Oil Painting $250 Painted this study on location in Saint-Cirq-LaPopie, noted as the most beautiful small village in France by the French people themselves. It was a stunning town with lot lots of scenes to paint. I'm sure I'll revisit my photo's from that day for further painting inspiration and I'd love to go back in the spring or sumer to see what it looks like when full of flowers. When choosing a location to paint, I like to go with what captures my heart. A scene I walk by and often literally gasp. Over time you might notice you are drawn to similar scenes. I have certain themes I return to over and over. I can't resist sunlit vines. They have interesting, dynamic shapes, that have a sense of movement and the dramatic lighting and shadows. They just make me feel happy! I used the basic architecture and light and shadow patterns here then further embellished the scene with some colorful flowers. |
