Old Wall and windows.

Lovely, I like the exposed cobbles Avril and the old plaster work.

A lovely watercolour of blue shutters and the worn out wall. So typical of the south. Argeles is one of my favorite places in Pyrenees Orientales. You have caught the colours so well and then there is the mystery of the dark window. Would love to know what is behind it!

What a beautiful painting, Avril! Please do keep us informed about your exhibition in the Château, maybe by Blog. I also had a look at your private website (googled your name just for fun and found it) It is marvellous with a lot of your stunning painting. I am not surprised they asked you for the exhibition, you really deserve it and I hope it is successful.

A great subject so well depicted Avril

Thanks everyone for such positive feedback; always very welcome. Satu, the dark window is mosquito netting in front of closed shutters ... Thanks Mia for your "support", I hope you're well on the mend now. I've added a few lines to my blog this morning. Perhaps I should call this painting "Red Flyer" ?

Absolutely fabulous, Avril! You're the only one I know who can make loose wires and exposed stonework look inviting!

Beautiful work Avril.

Lovely work Avril:)Linda

Beautiful blue shutters and I like the exposed stonework too. Your shadows are always so well observed, they really bring these objects to life.

very lovely !!

Fabulous mixture of textures Avril. Lovely painting.

Thank you all for taking a moment to comment and boosting my confidence !

I really like these scenes of old houses. You've made a good job of portraying the feel of texture and light in France.

Great colours again Avril and lovely detail of the underlying stonework in this building as well
