I love this painting. What a day that was! Painting on the bluff overlooking L'aiguille, cliff formation. A powerful sight, inspiring all forms of art.
We spent the day painting from this bluff, lounging, chatting.
The name of this painting is "American Painters", a tad misleading, as the beautiful blonde in the middle is my French Sister, Francine. Francine is the owner of the original, it hangs in her pied d'terre, in Paris.
This was only the first of several painting trips spent painting the countryside in Normandy. Two weeks of painting, absorbing the sights, drinking lovely wine, eating incredible cheeses of the region. The ultimate holiday.
For an artist, immersing oneself in the craft is meditation. No other thoughts or concerns can interrupt this euphoria when he or she is in the zone. What a blessing. Painting and the other basics of life - breathing, eating, drinking!
This is one of several paintings available in giclee form, on canvas.
