The Top of Le Don
This oil painting on canvas is of a scene at the top of Le Don in the Cantal of the Auvergne region of south-central France.
In the early 1990s, at the invitation of Atkins Fine Art, I lived and painted the landscape of the Auvergne, noted for its vast areas of open spaces and golden sunlight. Every few years since then I return to absorb the beauty of the area.
I did this oil painting on a 40-inch-high x 42-inch-wide canvas. The canvas is on a 1.5-inch-deep stretcher frame with its sides painted. The painting is ready for hanging and is signed and dated by me on the back of the canvas (2002).
