Whilst walking round the old town of Nice I spotted this street lamp bracketed high up on a wall near a shuttered window. This part of town has narrow streets and lots of lovely brown, red and yellow colours are mixed into the plaster on the walls of buildings. It is a striking place to go for a stroll. This postcard was painted for Alison Chisnell using water colours on water colour paper.
These next two paintings are of La Musee Matisse in Cimiez on the outskirts of Nice.
These next two paintings are of La Musee Matisse in Cimiez on the outskirts of Nice. I’m a huge admirer of Matisse and his fantastically diverse body of work, he is an inspiration. The first painting was done for David Goddin (I drew this very quickly – deliberately to see if I could capture something in a hurry and I’ve included a photo of the building so you can see for yourself if I “got it” or not). The second view is for Hazel Bedson (I think I got the perspective a bit wrong on the right hand side of the building, oops!). Both are water colour on card.
The next card I painted on this holiday was for Sukh Pabial. It is titled L’??l??phant sur la Plage and was painted in water colour mainly using a flat brush. I sketched the idea out first and then used random colours as I went along.
