Chemin de la Valmoura, St Cezaire-sur-Siagne, France
Artist's Catalogue No: 1023
Watercolour & gouache on paper
Image size 28.0 x 35.5 cms
Sold
Note from the Artist: A small unexceptional road on the edge of the village, painted mostly in situ on four successive August days between 11.00am and 1.00pm, while on holiday in the village of St Cezaire-sur-Siagne, which is in southern France, inland from Cannes. Mediterranean light is noticeably different from the light in the UK, and I wanted to paint it on the spot - this location offered a nice quiet place to do that.
Elemental Landscape
Artist's Catalogue No: 1017
Watercolour & gouache on paper
Image size 49.5 x 72.5 cms
Sold
Note from the Artist: I painted this shortly before the practice of stubble burning ended, because I knew that the decision to ban burning had been taken. The painting is deliberately dramatic, almost apocalyptic, because it represents the impending end of a long-standing agricultural practice. The place depicted is near a road intersection in Wiltshire known as Five-Ways, on the road between Bradford-on-Avon and Corsham, and the burning was really taking place there. The title refers to earth, air, fire and water, all of which are present.
