Radu Focsa MARKET SCENE IN GORDES

MARKET SCENE IN GORDES

Attracted by the colors of the market in Provence, we want to taste everything, smell everything, see everything.

Foodie friends, beware! it's hard to resist salted olives, generous wines, creamy cheeses, All these sun-kissed fruits and vegetables, strawberries, melons, peaches, peppers of all colors, garlic and tomatoes with generous flavors.
On the flower market stalls with lavender, aromatic plants and bouquets of dried flowers. Not to mention the artisans who sell fabrics from Provence, jewelry and hats, colorful pottery and glazed earthenware.

So for the painter it's even harder to resist. In front of this outline of colors and scents, we are like intoxicated. The brush no longer holds in place.
So I stand in a corner and observe, I sketch, I can't wait to get to work.
But be careful, you have to soak up these colors, light and movement first.
Yes, because the market is alive.

Here is a scene from the market in Gordes, on a summer Tuesday.
You can see the daddy, who looks around for things he needs to buy and his two kids who want to play more than to be at the market.
Work by nature.
