Just back from a few days in Liguria, followed by more wonderful days in the Vaucluse to stay with good friends. I had decided that I would only take watercolours (they are so brilliantly portable) and it was amazing to sit at the edge of a lavender field with its gentle perfume wafting over me while I painted. It’s the first time I’ve seen this Provencal splendour and it has made a wonderful change to the green fields and ginger cows of the Aveyron.

Back in my French studio
Wild Cherries
Oil on board 12cms x15cms
SOLD
It’s lovely to be back in my studio in France and for beautiful spring. As in Tuscany, the oaks are the last to put out their spring leaves, but the surrounding hillsides are scattered with wild cherry trees glorious in their white blossom. I painted this yesterday afternoon from my studio window.
