The Port at Marseillan. 25 x 35 cm, oil on panel.
Here are a few of the paintings from my travels this summer. I was in Tuscany and on Lago Maggiore in Italy, Marseillan and Bordeaux in France, and on the island of Pag in Croatia. I was working on portrait commissions for much of August and didn’t have a lot of time to sketch. I find the concentration required for commissioned portraits means you’re better off not exhausting yourself earlier in the day with landscapes.

Marc, these are terrific as always. Thanks for posting.
Great to see your work from this summer. All so wonderful!
they are all beautiful and atmospheric capturing the smells and feelings of each landscape. is that a pink or sienna ground you use? whatever it is, it works wonderfully as it peaks through!
looking forward to seeing your commissions if you decide to post.
Hi Marc, Thanks for posting these paintings. I always love looking at your work. These are wonderful.
They are lovely, Marc. I especially like “The Twins”.
Great landscapes, Marc! I hope that you are feeling well.
I really hope that you post some images of your commissions…I ADORE your portraits!
my favorite is the “twins”. what is the undertone you use on your panels? do these paintings eventually become large paintings?
The undertone is the seal I put on the gesso panels. It’s retouch varnish with a touch of transparent red oxide. One or two might get enlarged this winter.
Hello Marc,
Thanks you for posting all your fantastics works.
best regards.
