France - Loire Valley / Brittany / Provence

 

"I first travelled to Provence in 1997 with my wife Joanne on our honeymoon, and it was during this special time that we both decided that we would have to return with our paints and boards; and so in the autumn of 1998 and the spring of 1999 we sat in the fruit filled landscape of Provence and painted. Provence is a sumptuous subject for a painter, it is filled with exciting new colours, people and places. I feel at home amongst the vineyards and orchards and the activity in the fields provides endless inspiration. The landscape presents itself to you, inviting a response. "
