French Barn

$450.00

South of France, wondering through the fields, I stumbled across this disused old barn. Painting bare-feet on the grass, with no-one for miles around, heaven. I was in love with the environment more than the painting, and packed it away in my pochade box, thinking I’d come back the next day to fix it. When I pulled it out the box that evening, it got caught on the easel lid which scraped down the whole thing… which was actually just what it needed, some roughening up.

Oil on canvas, 9x14.
