The Landscape of Southern France

Looking at my paintings of the south of France Bill commented that they have a different light.  Indeed the landscape there does have a very soft light as compared to say the brilliant clarity of the Rockies.  Of course I did somewhat exaggerate the yellowness of it all!

    I seem to see a change in your approach here - more impressionisitic - maybe that's what Southern France does to artists, if Monet and Pisarro etc are anything to go by! (Daughter Sharon lives in France but about halfway down so not southern, hasn't got that light about it in fact similar to the uk! Hoping to get some done on my next trip there.) Anyway Alice, these are great! xx
