July 14 is “le Quatorze,” or Bastille Day, and I spent the day on this beach, painting and sunbathing and swimming. This painting was made later in the day, after friends joined up for a picnic and as the sun was setting behind me, casting the most incredible light on the red rock of Cap Canaille, Magical!

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”x24”; overall size framed is approx 17”x25”. This is a diptych of two 12”x16” canvases framed together as one; they were painted together as if one canvas and are meant to stay together, not separated. This painting comes framed in a natural oak floating frame and is ready to hang.
