Roussillon
One of the most picturesque villages of Provence, Roussillon is on a hill several miles across. The dirt is the most amazing colors - every color from buff to purple; tans, golds, oranges, browns and everything in between! And the houses in the village are those same different colors

Mes Amis...
My friends, the sunflowers, are always a joy to paint. This is one of my favorite places to paint in Provence, just a couple of miles west of Roussillon, site of the first commercial French ochre mine and just a few miles to Gordes, one of the beautiful hilltop villages, but, more importantly, just a few miles from my favorite place to drink coffee in Goult.

Sous Un Beau Ciel
Just to the north of Puylaurens about twenty five miles to the east of Toulouse is an area called by some 'The Tuscany of France'.

Near Mont Ventoux
