#BasqueVillage
View from a terrace overlooking a traditional Basque village, rendered as a bold expressive painting. In the foreground, a small round wooden table with a breakfast spread: coffee, croissants, bread, cheese, jam, orange juice and berries on a colorful Basque tablecloth, all depicted with thick impasto brushstrokes. Below, distinctively Basque 'etxea' houses with their iconic white lime-washed façades dramatically contrasted with bold wooden framework painted in vibrant Basque colors - predominantly blood red, but also deep forest green and cobalt blue on some houses. These colored wooden beams create striking geometric patterns against the white walls, with matching colored shutters and doors. The half-timbering is painted with exaggerated, thick brushstrokes to emphasize this quintessential Basque architectural feature. Some houses display traditional carved wooden lintels and stone carvings with Basque symbols. The village with its characteristic red-tiled sloped roofs nestles between rolling green hills. The Atlantic Ocean is portrayed with dramatic, dynamic waves crashing against the shoreline, painted in thick textured strokes of deep blues and white foam caps, their crests highlighted with sunrise golds. The sunrise is an explosion of exaggerated colors - fiery oranges, deep purples, and bold pinks with visible, expressive brushwork throughout. Style combines elements of Fauvism and Post-Impressionism with an emphasis on the distinctive colored timber-framing that defines authentic Basque architecture
