Gex Town Hall Watercolor Painting and More for the ‘Gex Book’
Friday, October 30th, 2009Here are a couple more watercolor paintings for the Gex book. The first one shows the side of a house with roses growing along the wall beside a window.
I really liked the wild, free, rugged beauty the place has. It’s part of an old farmstead in the countryside on the outskirts of Gex. In a previous post, Walking In The Pays de Gex, France, you can see photos taken in the same area, and there’s also a photo taken on this same farm of a tractor with ducks and geese all round it.
The painting below is of the Marie, or Town Hall, of Gex. 
I love the variety of colors used to paint buildings in this part of France. The buildings are often painted in pale pastels, and occasionally, as in the case of the Town Hall, they’re a bit more vibrantly attired.
