Art Weekly 169 – Menton Rooftops

AW-169_MentonRooftops31st March 2016

Its been a while since my last Art Weekly, but we’re now back in Koroni and I’m attempting to break the ‘creative block’ and get back into painting. I find it always takes a while to settle down after travelling.

I’ve painted the lovely French town of Menton, near the Italian border, so many times. There’s something I love about the colourful old buildings crammed together above the port – part French, part Italian, and I can never get enough photos when we visit – every one a potential painting! This trip we were only passing through Menton, but did stop off to meet my ex Sydney neighbours, of many years, for lunch – a perfect rendezvous and wonderful to see them!

Art Weekly 152 – Menton Colours, France

Menton Colours, France

11th November 2014 – SOLD

Menton is one of my favourite places in France, It’s a bustling town on the Riveria and just across the border from Italy, which gives it a wonderful mixture of Italian and French. The buildings, particularly in the ‘Old Town’ have the wonderful coloured facades of Italy, and thankfully the coffee is generally more Italian-style as well!

In February each year, Menton holds la Fete du Citron (the Lemon Festival), the only place in Europe I’ve seen a 5 metre tall Kiwi made of lemons being parading proudly down the street!
