Another exercise in keeping things very loose and suggestive, but using a slightly different technique than used on "Distant Mountain". With this painting I did not blend the strokes but used single strokes and left them alone (well mostly!). I finished the painting off by splashing colour on the foreground to suggest flowers.

Here are the two paintings side by side. Which technique do you prefer?

I love the purple and yellow ochre colours of the provence landscape in July. The lavender and sunflower fields with a backdrop of the mountains are made to be painted. I have deliberately kept this loose with no real detail to try to capture the overall feel of the countryside.
