>Mauve Field with Blackbird<  80x80 cm

This canvas continues my exploration into painting the local landscape here in the Charente, France. Mauves seem to pervade everything I see at the moment . A signature blackbird stands atop a winter cabbage grown at the Ferme Bio where I go to buy my weekly veg.

Summer's last blasts of colour come in the form of different shaped and coloured dahlias that spring up in the garden as Summer closes and Autumn settles in. I have attempted to capture the changing of seasons in this painting which also includes some of the everyday materials of the Artiste-peintre.

 Summer does not leave quietly in the Charente, but rather ends in a final burst of colour with the last sunflowers . The harvested flowers then leave fields of repetitive short sticks which I have also attempted to capture in this fieldscape painting.
