Open air painting :
I usually work for many days on single canvas .When I am painting a landscape, I first draw a sketch etching in the shadows, painting masses in the negative colors. When the first colors dried, I put on colors, volumes and lights.
Landscapes in France have to be discovered and felt deeply. Most of the time my husband Bernard and I ride on bicycles, in the famous areas of Provence : such as the "Pont du Gard", "Uzès", "Saint Rémy de Provence" or in the "Luberon". At other times, it is during a horse ride in the Val de Loire that I am able to discover the wonderful Miller-Barn I had always dreamed to paint. But the most important thing is to sit down somewhere, feel in its own body and soul the surroundings before painting atmosphere on the canvas.
some places where I realized plein air artwork:
A place in Loire Valley
A place in Toscana
