Yes, you’re right Irene, we all are fed up with the weather now. Hope it’ll get better soon so that we can dash to the beach again….Merci beaucoup pour l’appréciation
Pascale Baud
Wow… Ce que j’aime dans cette aquarelle c’est que les couleurs semblent “transpirer”, se déliter… sous l’action du soleil !
Corinne Pouzet replied
C’est l’impression que je voulais donner, et apparemment elle semble être bien passée….on attend toujours le soleil et la chaleur ici, il ne nous reste qu’à faire de longues balades sur les plages (des Landes) en attendant de pouvoir enfin se tremper un peu…Merci de ton commentaire
John Douglas
lovely!
Corinne Pouzet replied
Thank you John, glad you like this one

“parfois en ete” dit le commentaire… ici c’est tous les jours !!! lol
joli travail, l’effet de chaleur est palpable…
mais j’echangerai volontiers cette chaleur la contre la notre !
sincerement, francis.
Corinne Pouzet replied
oui, car il fait un temps pourri depuis des mois ici et on aimerait qu’il fasse vraiment plus chaud pour aller se tremper un peu ! je disais qu’il ne nous restait que les balades sur les plages vers Hossegor, St Jean ou Anglet en attendant de pouvoir piquer une tête !
Mille mercis de ton appréciation Francis
Linda Callaghan
I do like the simplicity and the suggestions of the shape of the human form…excellent the way you have painted the light figures in the distance
Corinne Pouzet replied
Merci, merci ….heaps ! and by the way : Joyeux Anniversaire !!! A very Happy birthday, dear Linda
Janis Zroback
Roll out those lazy hazy crazy days of summer….that’s what I thought of when I saw this painting…you have really captured the heat and the haze of a day at the beach…it shimmers…
Corinne Pouzet replied
If I could capture the heat with the haze of a hot day, I’m happy because that’s what I wanted to represent. What I like in this type of loose painting is that it doen’t require a great deal of precision !
merci beaucoup Janis
Douglas Hunt
I love your loose style here, Corinne!
Corinne Pouzet replied
I wanted to give the abstract a go, we so desperately need a real hot summer day like that here now !!!
Merci Douglas
linaji
Wow and I mean Wow.. this is so cool .. the abstract and the watercolor style.. you are just becoming GORGEOUS.. no.. you ARE!
Corinne Pouzet replied
I wanted to give the abstract a go – which is quite appropriate to my temper actually – Thanks so much your this wonderful comment Lina, that’s appreciated
Reynaldo
Corinne love the loose style and feeling of this excellent piece, my type of W/C painted with speed and passion, not overworked, or so tight that it squeaks!
Corinne Pouzet replied
Your comment is truly appreciated and inspiring Reynaldo. You are always so kind and supportive ! it helps to keep going !!...
Merci beaucoup
ISMAIL ALAOUI ...
je vois: !!
la lumiere du soleil a l’air de reduir la visibilté sur leur corps, il ont lair englouti dans la lumiere,
belle impression, ca arrive sur la plage vers midi!
Corinne Pouzet replied
Oui, c’est vrai que c’est ce qui arrive vers midi avec la chaleur étouffante…mais pour le moment ici, c’est pas du tout ça !! Un grand merci pour ton commentaire, toujours très apprécié
Jim Phillips
Love the style in this one Corinne. The abstract makes me want to think that it’s so hot on the beach the waves of heat are distorting the image. Well done.
Corinne Pouzet replied
it was hot on this beach on that very day ! I wish I could say the same today and the days before !!. We desesperatly need heat now. Thank you Jim and have beautiful holidays with your family !
Colombe Cambo...
Corinnette, c’est génial, on les voit fondre au soleil…. On dirait ce fameux effet de mirage!
Le choix des couleurs les rend en pain d’épices, ils sont bien cuits….
C’est absolument génial, ce que tu as fait!
Corinne Pouzet replied
Mais….tu es déjà levée ???
attends, je t’envoie une autre réponse tout de suite…
Corinne Pouzet replied
sorry, on m’appelait…figure toi que je ne voulais pas le mettre celui-là parce que je le trouvais mal fini, beaucoup trop abstrait à mon goût et Louis a fini de me convaincre que comme il faisait très chaud ce jour là, on pouvait aisément imaginer les gens vus comme à travers un mirage de chaleur comme tu dis très justement. Alora ecco …..j’aime bien la couleur pain d’épice au fait, ça me fait penser à l’enfance et à ceux de bonne-maman !
Linda Callaghan
thank you dear Corinne appreciated !! :-D
catherine walker
Fabulous…well done!
Corinne Pouzet replied
What a wonderful compliment Catherine, thank you so much

Like viewing people from a distance being warped by thermal waves. Love it. Cheers!
Corinne Pouzet replied
It’s exactly what I wanted to represent, so I’m glad you felt it…
Thanks heaps TPS, always appreciated when you stop by !
flamingalfa
Very striking – I love the ochre tones!!!
Corinne Pouzet replied
I appreciate your comment very much, thanks so much Jana
Lara Cooper
Love your choice of colour here Corinne, and the bits that you have left white really add to the hot feel. Couldnt be hotter than an Aussie summer could it?
Corinne Pouzet replied
Hi Lara, sorry to reply so late to your comment, I just happen to see it now.
it’s a wonderful compliment coming from you because you know how I really do appreciate your work. Merci beaucoup !
René Pouzet
Super !! Corinne. On a véritablement l’impression de transpirer comme les heureux veinards prêts à piquer une tête. Papa et Maman
Corinne Pouzet replied
C’est gentil, merci de votre commentaire. Je crois que la chaleur que j’ai voulu représenter par cet espèce de flou, est bien passée parmi tous ceux qui m’ont laissé une appréciation.
Lynda Robinson
Yes Corinne – you really have given the viewer the impression of intense heat with your use of colour and the strong shadows, which indicate it is around the middle of the day. I don’t know how I missed this one when you posted it. Your work gets more and more ‘incroyable’. (Back to the dusting now – how boring)!!!!
Pinkham
I feel the heat. This tells it all without saying too much.
Corinne Pouzet replied
Thank you so much Pinkham, it’s a fab.compliment, really.
Magda Vacariu
very spontaneous and though so well found.
Corinne Pouzet replied
Hi Magda ! thank you for your compliment, I appreciate it very much.
I had a look in your gallery and I think you are very talented with all the portraits especially the one entitled ‘Dreaming’, the angle of the pose is just fantastic in this one. Thanks again for dropping by
