Near Le Prat #2
Oil pastel of the landscape near Le Prat 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 landscapes of France, noted for their vast areas of open spaces and golden sunlight. Every few years since then I return to absorb the beauty of the land.
I did this oil pastel on 22-inch-high x 30-inch-wide acid-free age-resistant heavy painting paper. The painting is signed in the lower right corner and is dated on the back.
