A rose from my garden

Summer is fading away and this prompted me to paint the last roses from my garden. I was tempted to have two roses in the vase but finally decided that the composition was more balanced with only one.

L'ete est a sa fin aussi ai- je voulu peindre une des dernieres roses de mon jardin. J'ai choisi de peindre une seule rose pour faire une peinture sereine et equilibree.

Les roses de Perrot - SOLD -

Earlier this summer I spent a week in the Ardeche at a painting course given by Stephane Ruais. The theme of the course was landscape painting but after four days of painting nothing but trees I felt the need to revert to my usual Nature Morte. This is the result – which has now been sold.

Au debut de l'ete j'ai suivi un stage de peinture en Ardeche donne par Stephane Ruais afin d'apprendre comment traiter le paysage en peinture.Le dernnier jour je n'ai pu m'empecher de retourner a ma predilection pour la nature morte et  voici le resultat - cette peinture est maintemant vendue.
