Salle a manger

Salle a manger
This is the painting of the breakfast room I was working on yesterday afternoon. Isn't it a gorgeous room? That painting above the fireplace at the end is a hunting scene, except you wouldn't know because I haven't gone so far into it as to paint the hounds!
Today was mainly dry, although overcast and still lots of mist around. I went in search of boats (you don't have to go far to find boats here) and worked on a triptych the whole day! It's still not what you'd call finished but I think it's worth spending a bit more time on so hopefully I will show you that soon.
There are so many fabulous marine subjects here- I could easily fill a month if I had it!

  1. A charming piece that gives me a sense of Sargent in the palette and handling of values. Love it.

  3. Lovely painting Haidee-Jo! Two weeks ago I spent a week painting in France (Morvan) and it's great to now read about your painting activities on location. Wishing you a inspiring and productive rest of your stay!
