If you take the D613 east out of Couiza, you will drive through a wonderland of places to paint. Serres is one of the small towns on this road. It's a particularly good spot for painting because there is a small, shady roadside rest area, complete with picnic tables, that offers this view across the road and fields, There are other painting subjects here as well - a small stream with lovely shadows from the trees in the rest area. A great place for a picnic as well as for painting. A freind and I stopped here one summer day and spent a pleasant hour or two sketching and painting. I was intrigued with the color of the fields of wheat in the foreground, and the soft deep greens of the trees and hedges in the farther field.

ReplyDeleteIs that the road by the Spar, which eventually takes you to the coast? If so we took it and loved the scenery, although it was a bit of a challenge with its dips and curves where it went across the mountains. Nice painting! What size is it, and are these in oils?
ReplyDeleteYes, that's the road. It's a great drive, continuing on to Arques and Lagrasse. This is in oil and larger than I usually use outside - 16"x20".
