Mont Sainte Victoire 1987
oil on canvas approx. 12" X 16"
I was looking back to a little souvenir from one of my sabbaticals. This is a painting I did on the roof of a elementary school in Aix en Provence. It was 1987 and I was traveling with my cousin Pete. As we are both big Cezanne fans, a stop in Aix was a must. We were also traveling with canvas and paint. The woman who gave us permission to paint on their rooftop had one condition, that it didn't take more than a month. A month! we had one day.....There were some German art students already on the rooftop but they were painting out of a John Rewald art book on Cezanne. The actual Cezanne mountain was right there in front of them. It was a challenging afternoon.
