This one is nearly done. In fact I thought it was until I looked at it this morning. Now I think it needs some warmth in the trunks and maybe in the canopies. What are your thoughts?

Shimmering Olives - Sold by Marion Hedger

Olive Tree Trio
SOLD

by Marion Hedger

30x24cm (approx 12"x10")

Oil on gessoed panel
palette knife painting

Olive Trees
This is an amalgam of trees from different photos but I quite like the way it came together. I wanted to show how olive trees are blue, turquoise and green all at the same time, particularly if there is a slight breeze blowing.
It is slightly larger that the other four paintings (which can be seen HERE) and this allowed me to concentrate on the form of the trunks. I love the rough, tactile, gnarled bark of the olive trees, a product of the hard pruning they receive.

Niçoise speciality
Here around Nice the olives produced by the trees are very small, but they are delicious and are a Niçoise speciality. We have three olive trees in the garden but I have never preserved the olives as it takes ages to get them to the edible stage. Raw they are extremely bitter and have to be soaked in brine to be edible.

Another rework from the 30 day challenge. I felt the painting (see HERE) was a bit cold and had a lack of breathing space in the foliage. I added a hint of red poppies and reworked some of the foliage. I added more yellow to the foreground tree to warm it up and bring it forward. I also warmed some of the tree shadows and worked the negative space around the trees. I am much happier with it now.

After completing the last four tree paintings, I realised I hadn't included any olive trees. So for day 13 I selected a prepared panel I had gessoed earlier.

Olive Trees and Mas by Jeannette Johnston

Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

24" x 20" / 12F

€150

www.french-paintings.com

This painting is of a scene in the Alpilles. In that area of Provence the farms and villages are a pale whitish stone bleached by the sun. The landscape is quite arid with scrubby bushes known as garrigue covering the lower slopes of the mountains and in the valleys fields of olive trees as far as the eye can see. Although there are generally fewer vineyards than in the neighbouring Luberon, there are some particularly around the pretty little village of Eygalières.

Cabanon and Mountains by Jeannette Johnston

Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

16" x 13" / 6F

€90

www.french-paintings.com

This painting is of a  provencal cabanon surrounded by vineyards, cypresses an olive trees. The stone built cabanon (meaning little cabin) is typical of Provence and the neighbouring Languedoc Roussillon. At one time they were used by the shepherds for resting in, particularly during the transhumance when the sheep and goats were moved from their winter quarters in the valleys to higher slopes.
