This empty church, with weeds growing high up on its ornate facade, reminded me of an ancient Hindu temple.

Susan, this painting is a gem! I love the way you juxtaposed the linear man made church steeple next to the organic shape of the trees. They are different, but they share some of the same colors and they "lean" in the same way. Great observations. Thank you for the inspiration!

Wow. Loved your Bonnieux series too - brought back memories. So love Provence and Avignon. Anyway, your fabulously colorful and loose style is so inviitng and pleasing! enjoy!
Lovely colors and nice composition. So interesting to see weeds growing high in the church. Well done!
Thanks for writing! Yes, that was a new one for me, too, Linda.
Debbi and James, glad you liked the Bonnieux series. I haven't spent very much time in Avignon--just a day some years back, very hot, trudging around Pope's palace, and up and down side streets looking for a place to have dinner. Funny how the details of the short time one spends somewhere end up creating a total impression. I've painted in Bonnieux many times, as my workshop always visits for a plein air session--great light there, and angles, and views through, up and down alleys--so much to paint.
Good observations from you, too, Christine! That's exactly what appealed to me about this subject.
What a beautiful and colorful work. Thank you for the pleasure of seeing it
Thanks so much for writing, Natal.

How beautiful. I love the colors you used and the composition is lovely.
