French Memories, oil painting canvas, colorful figurative art, woman at beach, semi-nude female figure Riviera
















French Memories
Oil on canvas, 20" x 20" 
SOLD to a collector in Texas

The original version of this scene struck me as too staid so I decided to create a more colorful, playful version. This is the other girl's younger, more spirited sister who just had to see the South of France for herself.

    Your work is fantastic!! I especially love the figurative work - "I am here", "woman at beach reading" & "sounds of the sea"
    Very unique style - refreshing!

    Hi Marie

    You nailed it on this one. Realistic enough to be fairly literal, but not so much as to be a portrait. I like the planar structure of the face.

    I'll keep watching. Thanks, Ray

    The previous comments say it all. Classic is a good description.

    she looks just like she is contemplating the right way to start a piece of prose. Lovely work.
