French Countryside Part II

2018

Artist Comments
This painting captures the beauty of the French countryside. I was inspired by the peaceful and vivid colors found in this quaint French village. I depicted the countryside with loose and expressive brushstrokes. There is a sense of light shining within all of this artwork. I layered warm and cool colors in the piece. I experimented with depicting nature and architecture in this painting.
