Landscape seen from top near GORDES

I chose an atmospheric and oblique perspective, which can be easily found around the village of GORDES
We can observe a division of space into three horizontal parts made up of the sky and the mountains in the upper part of the canvas, followed by orange-red fields in the middle part and a close-up with the roofs of houses and buildings. trees in the very foreground.

The colors in the upper part of the painting are rather cold, cerulean blue for the sky and cobalt blue for the mountains.

The second floor of the painting is covered with fields of different sizes and shapes.
The colors of the fields, orange, pale green, red, are delimited by spots of vegetation, the color of bladder green.

The light comes from the left with blue shadows.
The shapes of trees and vegetation in general are suggested, without seeking a botanical description.

The color is applied with a palette knife in a gesture that is vertical and horizontal with thick, almost abstract touches, giving relief to the material.
In fact, the palette knife is used here to structure the space, like a mason's trowel.

Knife painting done in the studio from the oil sketches that the artist did in plein air.
