Original artwork description:

Landscape of Auvergne, in the very heart of France.

I painted this from a path along the Loire river. The sky was overcast but bright. I attempted to capture the melancholy of this winter afternoon.

This landscape is a plein air painting, painted “alla prima” in one single sitting, with lively and spontaneous brushstrokes to attempt to capture the momentary effects of sunlight , the movement and the atmosphere.

Materials used:

This painting is painted with professional grade oil colors on a primed canvas. I prepare myself my canvases to create a texture specific to my painting needs and to insure them maximum longevity.
