Street scene : south west France

A watercolour sketch I made while in France. This small alleyway was a perfect blend of stone, flowers and wonderful light.
I kept it very loose as it seems to capture the rustic charm of the place (or maybe I had been visiting the vineyards for a few tasting sessions!)

Aviation
Birds
Black and white/monotone
Flowers and plants
Nautical
Selective colouring
Sepia toned

    Thanks Andy – very kind of you to say so. In fact my painting goes back further than my photography and I used to paint alot to commission. Must get back in the groove to do some more!
