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.

 

 

St Peter's Church Villemorin

I painted this in water based oils on a small canvas. It would be lovely to see it again in real life, this pesky covid virus has spoilt many plans to travel over the past couple of years but this month we will go! I have made myself a small strong card pochade box that fits my bag, (my wooden pochade is too cumbersome) and something called a 'paint garage' out of acrylic. It should make painting en pleine aire easier with paints at the ready and no tube lids to struggle with. My test paint was successful and my paints are still soft after a week thanks to the clove oil.
