4 little post card sized gouaches to limber up ready for a larger painting. Its been difficult to motivate myself with the distress of Covid, Russia invading Ukraine and my elder sister being so ill but I need to get painting again. My husband motivated me to paint Glanum in the Spring but I have done little since. That painting in on our wall  and I enjoy seeing it so its time for another. I think I will paint the Poole park one next in acrylic, I have given up painting La Rochelle in oil and it is obliterated now with a coat of blue oil paint, it may become a sea scape eventually. Here it is in an unfinished state before I stopped, I think I got fed up with comments about it and just got bored as there were lots of boats and masts to paint.




Here is a detail from my larger painting of Glanum in France, the larger one is our wall. The interesting day out there was wonderful, especially as Van Gogh's sanitorium is next door.

 


I enjoyed painting this and want to remember it as I have gifted it.
So I have posted it here. 
Its from imagination and uses oil and acrylic together to create the water
