Abandoned building Provence
Palette knife painting
Oil on 40x50x4cm box canvas (16"x20")

There are many abandoned buildings amongst the lavender fields. What are their stories? What were they for? dwellings? stock? storage? Why does no-one care? Why are they still standing? Too many questions and no answers.
About this painting
I have lots of photos of abandoned buildings of one sort or another because I think they are interesting, but have never used them in a painting. I cropped the photo but as I started painting, realised I had not cropped it close enough so I had to increase the size of the building. I still have to fight my tendency to put in too much detail, the painting was about the building so I concentrated on that.

This is beautiful Marion. Love the colors and light.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bhavani.
ReplyDeleteYou know you could do an art series on the abandoned buildings of France. So many of these medieval building stones are used in a reconstruction. I don't think the French think these buildings are "finished". I would love to paint England and France with you. Only one thing stops me now: I am so done with long haul overseas flights.
ReplyDeleteMarion,
ReplyDeleteAbandoned buildings can be so sad - but you have honored this one with your attention to its beauty. Lovely!
