Painting in France


Erik Koeppel "Road to Comayras" 8 x 14 in. Oil on panel




I just returned from two weeks of painting in Liaucous, France, a beautiful tiny Romanesque village in the Tarn Valley. These are the paintings and studies from the trip:

Erik Koeppel "Gorge du Tarn" 12 x 9 in Oil on panel

Erik Koeppel "Morning in the Tarn Valley" 7 x 12 in. Oil on panel

Erik Koeppel "Sheep on the Plateau" 8 x 12 in. Oil on panel

Erik Koeppel "Studies of a Mule (Banjo)" 7 x 5 Oil on paper

Erik Koeppel "Study of Cliffs, Tarn Valley" 5 x 8 Oil on paper

Erik Koeppel "Study of Liaucous" 9 x 8 in Oil on paper


Erik Koeppel "The Road to Liaucous" 10 x 8 in. Oil on panel
Erik Koeppel "View Over the Tarn" 8 x 14 in. Oil on panel


Erik Koeppel "The Road to Peyreleau" 8 x 12 in Oil on paper

These were done outdoors on the trip. I'll be reworking many of these from memory and imagination in the studio, and some of them may be used to make larger paintings.

Here are some of our tourist photos:

This is the street we were staying on

The Villagers were so excited about what we were doing they decided to have an informal show at the end of our stay
