Summer near Forcalquier

how beautiful, Julian and Ruth, I can feel that roll of hay all ready,
and the green, and the rest, thanks, Mary Ann

ps
and the shadow!

Absolutely lovely!

"roll, roll, roll in the hay!" from the film, Young Frankenstein. How do you take such a simple scene and make it art is something I am trying to do but you succeed?

I almost missed the clouds!

bold, delicate and very efficient brushwork......nice!

Beautiful movement, beautiful harmony, luscious brushwork. Great.

Beauty! Love the light and shadow.

Dear Julian, Forcalquier and surrounds must be a very inspiring place, full of wonderful things to paint. Today's painting of the Haute Provence landscape and the billowy summer clouds is lovely.
Is there really an academy of scents and flavours in Forcalquier? How very French!!
Anna.
P.S. I'm learning so many interesting facts through this unique site, plus that it exercises my command of English! Thanks Julian!
