Provenance: From the artists atelier collection, South of France Description: This evocative watercolor depicts the traditional practice of "Pin en Gemmage", the harvesting of resin from pine trees, set amidst the serene beauty of a forested dune landscape.

In the background, a wooden staircase rises steeply up the dunes, adding depth and context to the scene. Key features include: Pin en Gemmage: A centuries-old resin harvesting tradition in France, particularly associated with the Landes region, where pine forests are abundant.

Rustic Charm: The detailed depiction of the tree’s textures and the resin collection apparatus reflects the artist’s appreciation for traditional practices and natural beauty. Atmosphere: The muted tones and delicate brushstrokes convey a tranquil and meditative mood, inviting viewers to reflect on the harmony of human activity and nature. This painting is a beautiful tribute to traditional French forestry and the serene landscapes of the dunes, making it an excellent addition to collections focused on nature or cultural heritage.

Trees in a French Country Landscape. Watercolor.
Located in Cotignac, FR
A French watercolour on paper landscape by Roger Decaux. The work is signed and dated (as yet undeciphered) bottom right. Presented in a wood frame with cut card mount. A fresh and charming view of trees in a landscape. Decaux has used simple, fluid but strong strokes for this composition. One can feel the influence of 'abstraction of form' that was a part of his later work. The eye is drawn from the trees to the surrounding fields, the touches of colour to the right and then to the silhouette of the hills beyond. The use of watercolour at its best. Roger DECAUX was born in 1919 in Dombasle sur Meurthe in the Lorraine. He studied art in Paris with Gino Severini and Jan Brusselmans...
