| View toward Séguret in Provence |
This is the last posting from my recent painting trip to France, accompanied by a group of local artists under the organization of Travel Fever Tours out of Putney, Vermont. Below is their website if anyone is interested in their upcoming tours which include Spain, France, and Sedona (Arizona)--watercolor and oil painting, Camino walking, and birding. They are a couple--Bob Lawson and Cicely Carroll--who do all the planning, scout out excellent restaurants, and find cozy accommodations along with gorgeous scenery. They're also fun to be with. Highly recommended!
This past trip, after a few days in nearby Avignon to see the sights and get over jet lag before we started to paint, we then went on to "our" town of Vaison-la-Romaine where we were based for the week. Some days we stayed in town taking in the Roman ruins and the medieval city. Other days Bob and Cicely drove us to nearby spots where we sat and painted, looking out on wide Provençal landscapes filled with vineyards, olive trees, cypresses, and totally picturesque villages.
This fourth and final posting, then, centers around some of those spots neighboring Vaison.
