Maybe it’s the time of year; approaching winter solstice, summer so far away. I spotted some old photos of balmy days in France. Enjoying a drink, chewing the fat and watching the world go by. This was the combination of a cafe and town scene.
It took me a while to knit together. I took an outline sketch with me to the pop up gallery on Friday and with only 22 visitors was glad of the puzzle to occupy my day. I only finished it this morning, on Sunday. It’s highly probable I may make further changes, but at this moment I am happy with it. I hope it brings you all a spot of warmth and anticipation at this time of year and as it a confection of images, it truly is a Fisherman’s Tale.

Love it Graham! The guy in blue just draws your eye right to the center of the conversation.

Thanks Julie. He is right in the middle of the painting. My subject was the woman with the dog, who I pushed a little to the side. Strange you went to the guy right in the middle. I need not have bothered with my positioning, though now, from your comment, I see he does command attention.

It’s the blue color.

Right, the blue surrounded by white. You get so wrapped up with other issues you fail to see the obvious. Thanks for your insight, Julie.

Thanks Vic. I was in Portugal in September and October and it was pretty much like this outside. Now things have again taken a turn for the worse and the French and now the Germans wont let the Brits in to their countries and who can blame them. I have a trip booked for a Nile Cruise in Feb/ March already postponed once. It’ll be interesting to see if we get out there.
