I seem to like painting in 3's...a little cluster on the same theme. There's something kind of satisfying about a group of paintings telling a story together. The story I'm working on right now is from our trip in 2013 to the Provence region of France. Our college-aged daughter provided us with a wonderful excuse (as if one is needed!) to visit her while she was living and studying at the University of Marseille. Her campus was in Aix en Provence, so we found a darling apartment to rent for a week right outside the center of the city. We could walk just a few minutes and be on Cours Mirabeau! But I'm not painting Aix right now; I'm painting scenes from the market days we seemed to stumble on in many of the other villages and towns we visited. I can't even begin to describe the charm and utter enchantment of walking through narrow cobbled streets, low arches, unexpected fountains and finding yet another lively French market in full swing. What I hope to capture in these paintings is that feeling of stumbling on a sweet and memorable experience. If somehow that feeling can be bottled and recreated on the canvas then I am happy!
