I LOVE this painting! (I love them all,but..) I have been staring at it in wonder since I opened it up. I don't quite know how it can convey such warmth and chill at the same time. Amazing.
Julian, this is lovely. I too live in Provence and the sun was gorgeous today however near Saint Remy we had quite the mistral. It remains a mystery to me how one can paint something so beautiful sustaining 60+ mph winds. You are my hero. Félicité. Gabrielle
Gabrielle, I have painted in mistrals but today was very calm here, almost balmy, I visited my osteopath this morning in Vaison-la-Romaine and noticed alot of wind but here at home under the Ventoux we had no wind.
This painting has such a powerful, cut-to-the chase sense of reality with such that I almost cried when I saw it. And just an aside, I don't often cry or even almost cry!
