Painting Privas

Awhile ago I asked my Father-in-law for a photo of France that I could paint.  I think that this is one of his favorites.
 

This is what I did with it.  I cropped it a bit and eliminated the graffiti even though that gives it a lot of personality.  I think the idea of English graffiti in France is a little funny.  I straightened the vertical lines to correct the distortion of the lens.  This photo isn't all that accurate, but it is the best I could do.  The lighting is a little different, but you get the general idea.


This painting was a present for my Mother-in-law for Christmas.  I included this little card with it. 


In January, I won't be able to paint as much.  I'll be teaching on the morning of my painting class.  I'll go back when I can and keep it up between now and then as much as I can.  I also have other artsy crafty projects to work on.  I hope I can get to them.
