Original artwork description:

Original title: June 24, summer light, Velay Mountains

Landscape of Auvergne, France.

Wandering the mountains of Velay is my way of living my art. From my studio, anchored in the heart of these landscapes, I set out in search of the light, of a place to set up my easel.
From this ridge, swept by the warm summer wind, rises the dry rustle of tall grasses and the resinous scent of the great pines. The landscape unfolds before me, a mosaic of green pastures and already ripe wheat fields. The hills roll gently, punctuated by dark groves and a few solitary trees that seem to watch over the land.
One can make out the line of a dirt path winding between two meadows, the silhouette of a farmhouse. There is no sound of an engine, no commotion, only the deep, tranquil breath of the countryside.
In the far distance, the mountains are outlined in a bluish haze. Above it all, the sky is immense, a washed azure, streaked with long, wispy white clouds pulled by the high-altitude wind. It is a landscape of peace, space and serene solitude.

The white-finished edges of the canvas allow for frameless hanging if you prefer.

Materials used:

This painting is painted with professional grade oil colors on a primed canvas. I prepare myself my canvases to create a texture specific to my painting needs and to insure them maximum longevity.
