The Ochre Quarry

I love the light blue window shutters in the previous painting. They say "Provence" to me. They remind me a bit of Greece, but there the houses are mostly white. In Provence they are mostly ochre. Do the blues become different depending on their background? In this gorgeous painting I see the rust from Roussillon. Thank you for such memories and for such a glorious sight.

hi julian

fab painting - as per normal, it's amazing the consistancy that you achieve.

did someone say it was your blog birthday recently? well, happy birthday then! it's a great achievement. all your consistant hard work plus all that inspiration = many fine paintings.

wishing many more happy painting sessions to come

Another fine painting Julian. This time it's that bright earthy ochre that warms the scene. So very Provence.

Hi, Julian-

Is this near Roussillon? I have many good memories of the place.
