Niolon is a beautiful little seaside town on la Côte Bleue to the west of Marseille and a favorite motif of mine. Getting down to this beach is not for the faint of heart, but I’ve managed to make my way down the scramble many times, painting accoutrements in tow, to spend the day making paintings there. This is a big-for-me piece, one of the first big paintings I made this summer, of a motif I’ve painted many times before. I sat amongst the rocks to make it and jumped in the cool water when I was done. Heaven!

This painting is part of Summer in le Sud (“luh sood”, a French word meaning “the south of France”), a series of paintings and watercolors made en plein air (outside, from life) as an artist-in-residence with the Leo Marchutz School.

Original oil painting on canvas. Painting size 16”x20”; overall size framed is approx 17”x21”. This painting comes framed in a natural oak floating frame and is ready to hang.

Merci for choosing to have a piece of my summertime on your walls!
