Gargilesse, France.
Another reminder of a wonderful holiday in Les Marronniers in the tranquil Creuse Department of France's Southwestern Limousin Region. I originally painted this after a lovely lunch at the Hotel des Artists. However things did not go well and I scraped it all off when I returned to the Studio at Les Marronniers. I was very disappointed because the light was so gorgeous, so here is my attempt painted in the studio, with the memories of that day.

Sun and dappled light at Kelmarsh Hall and Gardens
How wonderful to finally emerge from the gloom that has hovered over the East Midlands for what seems to be weeks. I was at Kelmarsh two weeks ago sketching in the cold, so it was lovely to be back in the warmth. Although in amongst the trees I was still wearing my fleece!

St Benoit du Sault. France
The last day I was in France we visited the beautiful town of St Benoit du Sault, which had a large medieval part. By the time I came to paint this lovely corner the sun had gone and the light was very flat. However when I got home I found a had a great photo in full sun, so I have tweaked this painting to bring in the sunshine.

Looking forward to France
I have just painted this from an old photo I took somewhere in the south of France, several years ago.
I'm off next week painting in France in the Limousin area. I have never been there but it looks rather lovely. The weather looks just a very few degrees warmer than here! Hat and gloves in my case.
