Description
The windows of France are works of art in themselves. This French patio garden with a profusion of beautiful flowers surrounding this window that view the Mediterranean Sea is near Antibes. Good wine and the sunshine of Provence make the painting complete.
While attending my one man show in Vence, I had ample opportunity to explore the Cote 'd Azure countryside. The sheer amount of visual delights I encountered could keep me painting this area of France for years to come. The French are unique in staging the common every day things of their lives in ways that delight one's senses, everywhere there are little nooks and corners that confirm the philosophy that it is not having the best things but making the best of what you have is what really counts."

Beautiful work. The details are amazing from the glisten of the bottle on the table to the shadows in the layers of foliage over and around the window. The composition of the table is inviting with the arrangement of the chairs. Bravo.
