Morvan, roses

Presently I am somewhere in the middle of France, attending an painting week. I am part of a small group of amateur painters, who have a go at landscape and plein air painting, under the strict guidance of Annemiek Jongen. We are staying in a chambre d'hotes in Chatin, in the Morvan, living the french life. Good food, good wine, and the tranquillity of the french "paysages".
Today, our first day, we stayed at our house, painting flowers in the garden. The exercise was to play with colour and textures, but to avoid depth. Acryl painting 40x50cm.
