One of my very first memories of my grandfather was his gorgeous small vineyard. He was so happy to work with the grapes.

My „Secret Garden“ sketchbook project is coming to an end with this bold and strong color explosion inspired by the one and only @jeanhaines

I hope you all have enjoyed my „Secret Garden“ sketchbook project during this summer. I thank you for your support and kind reactions!

Porquerolles is the biggest of the three islands of Or in the Hyeres gulf. The village was first built in 1820, the lighthouse in 1837, and the church in 1850. After being owned by a succession of people, the island was bought in 1912 by Monsieur Fournier who apparently bought it as a wedding present for his wife.

Two hundred hectares of grapevines were planted and the vineyard later produced a top-quality wine that was one of the first to be classed "vins des Cotes de Provence". Today the three vineyards on the island produce wine that has an excellent reputation. The vineyards are associated with the Conservatoire Botanique National de Porquerolles which protects the island's heritage and environment. ©provence.web


The whole island is a gem and an insider tip for those who like small and not overcrowded spots for vacation.

Painting with a reduced palette is always a good possibility to think about values, light and shadow. So I started (again) with some fruit- and vegetables still life and here comes the two first.
