France Village Art Prints

My France Village Art Prints of Roussillon, France are inspired by travels taken to Magical Places across the globe.  “Roussillon France Print”  Roussillon is in the heart of Southern France and a hilltop village all in this lovely rusty red color. This is the region where the earth color of paints comes from. It is why they have painted their entire village in Sienna’s and Ocres. It glows in the sunlight. A lovely sight to see. My interpretation of these works gives the feeling that the buildings are dancing, maybe communicating with one another, a sense of incredible joy, which is what I feel when I visit them.

I was visiting the quaint village of St. Paul de Vence in the south of France after teaching a workshop, and as I was walking down the stone staircase, I looked out over the village and noticed that they were leaning or tilting with age.  I was inspired to paint them as they looked, then sold the works immediately.  The rest is history. They are one of the most popular collections that I create.  They are now, much more about my feelings of magic, visiting these charming places, in the quiet corners of Italy, France and Mexico, rather than what I actually visualized on that special day.  They sway and sing, talk and dance in their whimsical contortions.

As I developed this series it came to my attention that everyone has that special attachment to their memories, from their travels,  of these magical places.  I love my favorite pieces hanging in my kitchen and living room.  Every time I pass them, it reminds me of that special moment in a magical place I have been.

These inspirational experiences have blossomed into multiple images of beloved US locations as well as Europe and Mexico. Many of the Architectural Whimsy images are available as hand embellished, limited edition Giclee Fine Art Prints on canvas, as well as some open edition Fine Art prints and products.  Three different sizes are available.  The original, the limited edition print, and the smaller open edition print.

Find the perfect piece for your living room and be reminded daily of the wonderful time you spent in one of these charming towns.
