Landscape near Calvinet II
Oil pastel on paper of the landscape near Calvinet in the Cantal of the Auvergne region in south-central France.
In the early 1990's, at the invitation of Atkins Fine Art, I lived in France and painted its landscapes, 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 8.5-inch x 11-inch water color paper.
The painting is signed in the lower right corner and is dated on the back.
