VILLAGE FARM, FRANCE
I have embarked on a fun project of painting from my photos taken while I was in France in June.
I wish I could have stayed there for a month of painting!
The countryside of France seems so unique
rolling hills
small quaint villages
and stone buildings
private gardens and ditches for irrigation
I took photos of my painting steps which I thought you might enjoy.
