Window of Opportunity, watercolour 16"x12", Saunders Bloc 140lb.


This is my first painting after I came back from France, the window in Le Petit Rousset, a very inspirational window. The bold colours in this painting shows that I have been influenced by Mike, Karen and especially Joyce, I am not sure if this is my style yet, so I will be painting more to find out.



I called this painting "Window of Opportunity" because this is what the trip to France gave me.

Abeer,

Great painting! Petit Rousset was so inspirational.

I hope I am not repeating myself as I did some fumbling getting signed up on Google.

I would love to get automatic notifications, too.

I remember coming to your home to pick John Jr. up from a party and marvelling at the art that you were doing many years ago. I thought you were talented back then - and I was right. You had managed to paint a green pepper and make it jump off the paper. You have matured as an artist and your love of painting shines through. Truly beautiful - like you.
