Having a bit of a jet lag today, but wanted to post this painting I did in Guethary, France. Here i was, traveling Paris, Spain and the coast of France and nothing was truly inspiring me to set up and paint. It may because I was just burned out when we left for vacation, or traveling with family and trying to communicate in French. . . a gift of languages I do not have!
Morgan had a friend loan us his wonderful house in Guethary, near Biarritz, on the Southern coast of France almost on the border of Spain. It's a beautiful area know for as the surfing mecca. The food was the BEST, and the weather perfect . After almost a week, I took my paints and went walking up to the local church to see if I could at least get some pictures, and there was this incredible light casting across the white stucco and onto the crosses. I had such a wonderful time, tucked into a corner by the wall, catching the colors of shadows and light before they moved away.
Maybe you just need to stop what you're doing all the time, and take the time to just soak it all in. Hey, I think they call that vacation!
