What could be better than a painting trip to France? We rented a house and car in Provence and spent 2 weeks exploring a small part of the Luberon. I prepared small chart art blanks, old navigation charts on heavy stock paper and drew with ink and Kremer watercolors. Most of the time we were oil painting, the chart art sketches were a fun way to document the trip and help find painting compositions. More to follow with the oils. The watercolor kit fit in a ziplock bag, very easy for traveling.
Artist Statement
I like all areas of art, doing everything from portraits, figurative work, collage, monoprints, pastels, plein air painting, and Abstracts! It is great when things cross over from the abstract universe to the real world, a wonderful synthesis. Above all I am colorist and I believe in strong drawing skills at the basis of all my work.
