Back Road to Urval 12x16 oil
On our recent stay in the south of France, we often found ourselves on small roads like this, buried deep in a Dordogne forest with little light, and the allure of dappled roadways was too much for me to resist. Once, coming back late at night from dinner at a little restaurant in Cadouin, a wild boar ran across this very road just in front of us, and we were all treated to our sanglier experience.
When I find myself struggling to spend time in the studio painting, I work on small canvases, 11 x 14 or smaller, and that seems to help; there is less at stake, failures are easier to accept, completion is faster. But now that winter is coming, what else am I supposed to do with all these short days and long nights?
