I so appreciate your doing this as I do know what heat (and humidity) is like living herein Florida....but your painting is wonderful and those orange-y colors surely show the hot!! Hope you got home and took aniceool shower......
The life as a painter can be a struggle sometime but we need to always try and enjoy the journey. I'm sure that the mountains of France are looking pretty good right now. I live and paint in the mountains of North Carolina and I love it because I can always find a cool shady place to paint each morning.
I love your daily paintings and posts.
Thanks for sharing. You constantly inspire me to paint often and persevere!

That mile walk up the hill was worth every step - so you could create this miniature masterpiece of light and shade.
