I must say I love the paiting ‘A Road in Provence’. I chose it as a project in school. For that reason I have to find out some information that I can not find anywhere else on the internet or books.. So I was wondering if you could answer some questions for me: What’s the meaning of the painting? What was it that made you, gave you the idea or inspired you to paint it? By painting it, How do you express yourself and what do you want others to know about it?

I will be forever grateful to have this information as soon as possible.
Thanks.

Thanks for your comments. I can’t speak for Katherine, but I think she is, at least in part, referring to the fact they are the earliest pioneers in this territory, and have been carrying on the practice for the longest time, in addition to being superb painters.

I agree with you about the wonderful paintings of Karin Jurick, Carole Marine and Mick McGinty, as you can see in my posts about them.

Other readers may want to take a look at Mona Conner’s intricately detailed and brightly colored paintings. Mona works in egg tempera, gouache and watercolor.

I’ve got Duane and Julian tagged as “the original and the best” on my blog http:/makingamark.blogspot.com . There are many who try to follow Julian and Duane in the internet daily painting ‘movement’ but very few who get near to achieving what those two have done. Initially - in literally posting a new painting every day - but also in managing to create small paintings that I wanted to own every morning when they dropped into my inbox.

Not being one to compete to purchase, I’ve bought prints from both of them - and very satisfactory they are too! I wish them both the very best with their future artistic endeavours

And yes, the light in Provence really is very special!

Same for art as XTC’s album title “Drums and Wires” is for rock n’ roll.

Thanks for the comment about Eric Tiemens. I did a post on Tiemens last year, and I like his work a lot, but I didn’t make the stylistic connection until you mentioned it.
