Le grand village

"Le grand village " watercolor 6x8 (c)
Nita Leger Casey

I painted this watercolor on location few years ago , while I was visiting my mother who lived down the road from this farm , I could walk from their back garden and chat with the farmers while I was painting ,they were always concerned about her because she lived alone and she was approaching 100 at the time . French people always have nice gardens and they are very proud of them.
I miss not going there ,I was going there twice a year , I am due for a trip there soon ! I f you love France , this is a true French original painting painted on location . email me if you are interested
