Misty Morning Along The Seine

9 x 12 oil on panel
I'm still working on some smaller paintings using the photographs I took on my trip to France. Doing smaller format paintings helps me decide which ones I would like to do on a larger scale.
On this particular day our Viking River Cruise took us from Vernon to Rouen. We cast off at 6 A.M. and the weather was cool and misty. Most passengers were down below away from the cool wet breezes, but I couldn't resist the atmospheric verdant landscapes as we meandered down the Seine. The limestone showing through the hills was reminiscent of our Niagara Escarpment in southern ontario.
