Hidden Door, Camon France
Painted onsite during a recent visit to the ancient city of Camon in Southern France, this original watercolor depicts a door in the fortress wall surrounding the village. Found off the beaten path it is partially obscured by Plain trees and rose bushes. One imagines that this door at one time offered refuge to villagers on the outside when under seige by intruders.
This framed original watercolour offers a unique and atmospheric piece perfect for lovers of travel, history, and landscape art.
Painted by South Simcoe Arts Council member Patricia Earl.

Artist Bio
Patricia L. Earl paints to convey the light, colour, and mood of what she
sees and feels around her as Mother Nature so generously provides. She
doesn't have to travel far to find subjects that inspire her. The gentle rolling
hills, farmlands, forests, and wild flowers that she loves to paint are found in
abundance in Ontario's countryside, on the hiking trails, and in her own
backyard. Some of her inspiration comes from her view from the
pillion/backseat of their motorcycle as she and husband Jim travel the Ontario
countryside or American southwest.
In her studio, Pat enjoys painting with both acrylics and watercolours.
Watercolours are her favourite medium as she loves the
freshness of the medium, the flexibility to apply and pour colours directly on
the paper, watching as a painting begins to evolve, often finishing details with
her brush. Pat enjoys the constant challenge of keeping the white of the paper
and using the transparency of watercolours to ultimately make the painting glow.
