A Sense of Place and Interpretation

 
Cahors
Pommes de Terre

Next we visited Cahors to see the famous (bridge) Pont Valentre in this vibrant old yet modern town.  We visited a market with so many enticing fresh food and colorful wares, purchased new art supplies at a side street art store, and had a relaxed little picnic in view of the Pont.

Sometimes a place reminds you of one of your artistic goals.  The combination of old and new touched a chord with me because it was compatible with my painting goal—to be able to impart a sense of reminiscence with a contemporary look.  It’s important to bring your own interpretation from the old into the present.

Drop in Cary Gallery of Artists 200 S. Academy St. in downtown Cary for these and other paintings. 919-462-2035
