Taken at Salon Côté Sud 2025 on Friday. This year’s theme is Ateliers & Artisanat in honour of Cézanne, who is being celebrated in Aix en Provence this summer. Symbolised by the paintbrushes suspended beneath the awning.

After colour, texture is one of my favourite things when making a painting! This piece was inspired by the rusty colours of an abandoned railway carriage seen one summer in a field in south west France (see photos in comments)

‘War torn’
Sketchbook collage I made in late February 2022.
Three years on, this is still sadly appropriate for today.

A collage of some of my paintings, named “Invincible summer” after the words of Albert Camus:
“Au milieu de l’hiver, j’apprenais enfin qu’il y avait en moi un invincible été.”

Wintery sunrise here this morning! Cold enough for snow but will it?
🤔❄️🤔
A hangover from TwExhell 🙄, so far I’ve been mainly reading on here rather than posting. Taking me a while to relax into a space where conversations, kindness & humour are enjoyed & not attacked! Anyone else feeling this?
