#53 / Mont Saint Victoire
Famously painted on many
occasions by Cezanne, I can’t believe I’ve not painted this landmark before.
It’s only forty minutes drive to find a good spot to set up your easel. That
was my average commute across London
when I was working there.
We were driving back from
the Salon Cote Sud in Aix en Provence
with troubled skies overhead when we stopped at Fruit and Veg stall to stock up
on the last of the seasons Asparagus. I saw the view across the wheat field towards
the Saint Victoire and the tracks leading off into the distance. It reminded me
of some of the paintings of one of my favourite Russian artists, Ilya Repin.
