Bordeaux and Chianti Sketches
Here are some of the sketches from the last month. We stayed in the little village of Pujols near St-Emilion (Bordeaux) in France, and then in Chianti near Tavarnelle val di Pesa.
My liver will need some time to recover.
Haybales near Pujols. 30 x 20 cm, oil on panel.
The Dordogne is especially interesting to paint as it is unusual to have tidal effects so far inland.

We were in Tuscany for the anual Vendemmia, or grape harvest.

I’ll post the rest of the Chianti series later in the week.
Awsome sketches marc!!!
Thanks again Marc for a great workshop in Pujols.
Sounds like a fun trip. I always enjoy looking through your latest and trying to pick a favorite. I think it would be Gensac out of this group. But the Gate at Saint Emelion is so wonderful too.
Wonderful painting Marc..
Love the Gensac one!
I think these are terrific, Marc. Fresh and thoughtful.
