Years ago my good friend, Danielle, asked if I would do a painting for her home. She wanted a french looking landscape. We found this old book that had black and white pictures of french cities so I dove in. I had been painting exclusively with watercolor at that time, so I was a bit nervous, but I got into the zone fairly quickly and had a great time with it! This was the resulting painting. A few years after I painted it, the movie Chocolat' came out and to our astonishment, the opening scene of the movie is a panoramic shot of this same little town! Right down to the church in the center square! I had the chance to see it again recently...(it felt like seeing a long lost child). I also got to visit with my sweet friend, who I love dearly. She is very talented in her own right and you should definetly check out her website(here)....you'll be glad you did.
Love,
Neisy
