Pastel, 11 1/2 x 19 3/4 inch, St Germain
Notes
Didn't have enough pastel paper left for the whole scene,
so I focused on the sky in this painting
with a late aftenoon sun and long shadows
When I paint a scene like this,
I'm there on the top of these hills,
and in the shadow s of these trees
a landscape or city scape
without getting the exact feeling/mood,
is a shell without a soul.

oh my former home in California has so many of those grapevine scapes.
This is wonderful. It seems you even captured a face in the clouds.
It's a lovely painting!
Merry Christmas to you Jeannette.
One of the things I love about your paintings is the love that comes through. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be nearly as enchanted by the actual experience of this scene as I am by your painting of it.
Jeanette,Lovely painting--you do such a nice job. I hope you post more frequently--I'd love to see more of your work. Happy New Year. Mickie ;)
wonderful pic! - thanks that my photos are reminding you to vincent. what a honor for me :)
what a wonderful painting. lovely colours and textures.
My mom's roots were from the Netherlands, so I guess mine are too, although I was born in Canada and transplanted to the states when I was only 10. I absolutely LOVE your header painting! Awesome work!
Very nice painting and colors.
This is a touching post. Thank you.
The clouds are so well captured!
This is a place I would want to visit with a cup of tea and a book.
I have tried pastels--I have NO idea how you are able to do this amazing piece in pastels...wow.
Beautifully painted.
Oh wow. This is really astonishing.
Beautiful art work, you have captured the quality of the limpid sky quite wonderfully!
this is very appealing. :)
Very nice pastel!
Great work on the clouds and the trees! Bravo!

I am no artist. I dabble and doodle. But I am of the opinion that clouds are deceptively difficult to recreate, and that you did a wonderful job! I wish I could have hired you to paint clouds on a ceiling in the guest bath of our former house - I decorated it to look like a forest glade, and the only thing it lacked was those clouds. :-)
I love your gentle landscapes - this one is really a beauty, I find it very appealing. You should consider sharing it on SkyWatch Friday!
