Mt Sainte Victoire

Oil on panel 15.75 x 23.5″ (40 x 60cm)

Well, I’ve been living in Cézanne country for almost 4 years now. It was about time I address the great mountain. I am not naturally drawn to the “Minerale” as the French put it when talking about rocks. One day, on a wonderful hike up there, a storm coming in made something click for me. And trying to figure out how this dynamic pile of limestone is put together turned out to be an interesting puzzle. Which I shall return to, since it is beyond me!
