This view, looking toward the town of Cassis, became a favorite one to paint, even though I had to be in full sun to paint it until the very end of the session. This just meant that I slathered on the SPF and took frequent jumps into the water to cool down! I made three large paintings (on three different days, naturally) from here; this is the first of those.

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 20”x32”; overall size framed is approx 21”x33”. This is a diptych of two 16”x20” 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.

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