In this piece, I melded oil pastel and tempera to breathe life into an enchanting scene at Château du Rivau, focusing my artistic energies to draw the observer into a serene yet vivid narrative. The robust textures of the artichokes in the foreground against the stoic, time-worn castle create a juxtaposition of nature and heritage. Capturing this dichotomy in styles ranging from impressionism to realism, I aimed to evoke a sense of timelessness and continuity. This painting invites a tranquil, yet emotionally rich atmosphere into any room, enhancing the space with a story of resilience and beauty.
