On the Atlantic coast, where waves crash on white sand and pine trees release their scent, there is a small village. Hibernating, asleep, its houses dusty and tatty, the village awakes in summer. Wooden shutters of peeling paint and creaky joints thrown open, rugs roughly shaken, brushes brandied with vigour. The walls are a beautiful yellow, like lemon cream, like custard, and framed with flowers of purple and pink and red. The work is a wonderful souvenir of France, a great gift, the perfect addition to a collection.

I love looking at old houses with closed doors. What is inside? What mysteries beckon? The shutters look rusty, the door long since locked and forgotten, entombing ghosts and cobwebs maybe. But for others, we can see an opportunity perhaps, a fresh start, a chance to renovate, the bring back to the light and comfort and the cosiness. The light is strong, bouncing off the white wall at the side. The stone is aged, full of character. Flowers and grass push through. The French house, the abandoned house.

Dreamy French House

In the heat of a beautiful French summer’s day, I spot these faded blue shutters, closed to keep out the sun. The walls show some signs of decay, but this only adds to the charm. Beneath the stucco are ancient stones, reused over centuries of building, the petrified reincarnation of generations before. The air is redolent of lavender, sage, wild garlic and the dusty wind that arrives from Africa. All too soon peach-hued evening will arrive and with it the gentle simmering of stews, of wine and bread. But for now at least all is still in the soporific heat. This lovely and realistic work makes a perfect addition to any collection.
