I had much fun with colours with this glorious building. I used watercolours and ink. This is part of my ongoing painting series on Le Cannet where I go on a regular basis, to the art centre within the old village.

Mixed media little miss
Inspired by a pencil artist Sharon Holmberg on Facebook, I decided to paint a doll like little girl but with watercolour and pencil and added some collage for the rose…I like the vintage look and the cute big eyes …

Mixed media whimsical girl
I recently was given a lovely present well wrapped up. I immediately thought of using the wonderful wrapping paper to create a garment for one of my mixed media whimsical girls. Here is the result… with the green leaves pattern of this beautiful shiny paper..
I used watercolours and inks for the outline and for the background.
Le Cannet, the old town hall now an art centre
The yellow building with the clock tower used to be the old town hall in Le Cannet and now, it is being used as an art centre. I have the great pleasure to go in there on a regular basis to do some painting and I just enjoy the walk in this very traditional old part of Le Cannet, North of Cannes.
Le Cannet : Le mur des amoureux de Raymond Peynet
I have started a series of watercolour paintings this Summer about the small village of Le Cannet North of Cannes. I go there on a regular basis and enjoy very much working with a theme.
This painting is inspired by a very famous fresco done on the façade of an old house in 1990 by the illustrator Raymond Peynet and the painter Guy Ceppa .
“Le mur des amoureux” (the wall of lovers”) has become an inevitable stop for newly-weds, a symbol of joy representing a united couple flying over the Garden of Eden.
Mixed media fun with Autumnal colours
An imaginary girl done with collage, stencils watercolours acrylics, pen and pencils… a whole bunch of mixed media techniques to play with onto watercolour paper….Autumn is coming soon so colour wise I feel drawn to apples and their red orange colour…
