Olive Trees and Mas by Jeannette Johnston


Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas
24" x 20" / 12F
€150

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.
