'South of Speyer'
‘South of Speyer’, Acrylic & Pastel, 2010, 80 x 80 cm
This was one of the paintings I completed while in Speyer last summer, 2010. It was one of just two that were based on the rural landscape of the region as I spent most of my time in the city. However on the few occasions I did go out into the countryside and hills, I was particularly impressed by the colours and lines created by the vine yards. During my recent stay in Speyer, we once again visited the wine growing areas and walked through the vine yards and up into the wooded hills behind. We were particularly lucky with the weather and the late autumn colours of the vine and surrounding trees were quite beautiful …shame I didn’t have a bit more time ….and my paints of course!
