Dappled Lane, Provence. SOLD!

This little scene was very near to the asylum Van Gogh was in just out of Saint Remy.

Just so many sublime little pockets of information in the landscapes in France, no wonder the poor man painted so much. Everywhere an artist looks is a subject to paint.

This is acrylic on an 8 x 8" gallery wrap canvas.

Australian Billabong SOLD!

This is another small gouache painting on watercolor paper, matted, ready for framing.

The scene is one I have already done in pastels a while ago, it was fun to test the waters (excuse my pun) with gouache. Very different to the pastel painting of the same scene.

This painting is now sold, thankyou Kimberley.

Van Gogh's Pathway. SOLD!

This is the pathway which leads to the asylum Van Gogh was in.. it is just out of Saint Remy in Provence.
One feels awed and at least in my case, quite overcome when visiting this place. Just to know that Van Gogh was here, that he saw the same gardens, walked the same paths, was truly overwhelming for me.
I chose to paint this in the Provence blues again, it somehow fitted the mood of the place.
This is an 8 x 8" acrylic on gallery wrap canvas.

If you are interested in purchasing this little painting please contact me at:
rae4art@aol.com

The price of this one is $65.00 plus tax
S/H within the US is $12.00

Rise to Provence SOLD!








It was just a glimpse as we walked back to our car in the villiage of Eyegalieres. I love these little vignettes.




The colors in Provence are so attractive, the pastel powder blue, the trailing lime green vines, the pops of red and orange flowers. An artist's delight.




This one is an acrylic and is an 10 x 10 on gallery wrap canvas.
It is up for auction now..



This painting is now sold. Thankyou Joyce.

Invitation to Provence

Most of you know I have just returned from France so my mind is full of these wonderful Provence blues and the incredible light France has in the countryside.

To die for!

This is a 12 x 12" gallerywrap canvas and I used acrylic .
I was striving to keep the colors pastel like, did not quite achieve that goal, but maybe 60/40.. I do so love the drama of tonal contrast, I guess that will always be a part of my art.

If you are interested in buying this one, please contact me at:
rae4art@aol.com

Price is $75.00

Shades of Blue and Gold SOLD!







Another small 4 x 4" gouache on watercolor paper.





These small ones (for me) are a great challenge, I love the extra large formats as most of you know.





I have to say I am enjoying the challenge though, hope you all are as well.

Tenuous Existance

Well I'm on a role now folks, this is another of the small gouache and watercolor paintings on Canson Paper.
It is 7.5 x 7.5 " matted and ready to frame. (actual image size is 4 x 4")

Don't get me wrong, the small ones still take a lot of thinking and working out, maybe more than the large canvasses I so love to work with.
