Le Calvaire
Friday 31. 08. 12 This one is of the roundabout in St Thibéry.
Advertising on the roundabout
Monday 27. 08. 12 This one is at Marseillan Plage – a popular resort between Agde and Sète. It is celebrating a local game where young boys climb along a greasy pole over the water and try and retrieve the hat . Not sure why the guy is on a bike and or why he has a scantily clad nurse in his trailer! Click on the highlight for the video.
More………
Friday 24. 08. 12 Yet another, this time just entering Clermont.
More roundabouts
Monday 20. 08. 12 Another roundabout – this time at Sète. No vegetation just a big hook, no doubt reflecting the town’s history of fishing and as a port.
New series, perhaps
Sunday 19. 08. 12 Today have been working on the final of the third panel of the Hérault series and perhaps the start of a new series. I have noticed that roundabouts here use the local vegetation with often other features of the locality. The above is a roundabout at Méze showing the indigenous semi-arid cactus-like vegetation. I have done it as a sketch using oil pastels on kraft paper. Will see where it goes.
More Hérault
Tuesday 14. 08. 12 The rough scroll continues.
Hérault scroll
Friday 10. 08. 12. Currently working on a large continuous scroll of 12 panels of the Herault. The finished piece will consists of 12 panels each 100cm x 80 cm but I am also doing a rough version 1/4 size. The above are roughs of kids swimming at Belarga and the quarry at Bessan.
