View From the Top, Gordes

21st painting for the month. (Yep, I have to catch up.) 
There's a great little boutique, right off the main square and next to where I was standing painting. If you like linen clothing, it's great. If you like gelato, you can get some a few paces away. Gordes was featured a few times in "A Good Year" the movie with Russell Crowe and Marion Cotillard. 
This painting has been accepted into the Forest & Ocean Gallery for Laguna Plein Air's next show coming up in February, 2016. ‪#‎LPAPA‬'s ‪#‎30paintingsin30days‬.

Oil on archival board. 8" x 8"

As with my 30 in 30 paintings, they can all be view at DailyPaintWorks for the duration of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge. They are all for sale there, so far, except this one which is available from the Forest and Ocean gallery.

30 Paintings in 30 Days #9 Study of Abbey Senanque

Study of Abbey Senanque

Abbey Senanque - Study

Abbey Senanque rests at the foot of a gorge near the perched town of Gordes in the Luberon, Provence. The working monastery harvests and sells their local crop of lavender to help support the abbey. It's a spectacular site in June when the lavender is in full bloom. The aroma is equally as magnificent. This was painted as a demo for the guests at the chateau retreat for artists. But it was left unfinished until today, when I completed it for this challenge. 

The linen panel was bought in Avignon and the size is almost 8" x 8". Probably 20cm x 20cm.
