This painting is one of several works by the female French artist, Regine David (1910-2018) we have available, all of which came from the artists estate in Paris, France. Painted with a delightful spontaneous feel and a freshness to the palette. A very ‘painterly’ work and a delight to behold. Here’s a breakdown of the colors used: Buildings and Structures: The main building is rendered in soft whites, light grays, and pale pinks, giving it a weathered, sunlit appearance. The rooftop has hints of terra-cotta and red tones, while the ancient wall or structure has areas with earthy browns and patches of green where vegetation is growing. Vegetation and Trees: The trees and shrubs are depicted with a lively mix of greens, ranging from light to dark, to represent leaves and foliage. The flowering bushes are highlighted with bright pinks and reds, adding pops of color that stand out against the more neutral tones of the building. Sky: The sky is painted with soft blues and pinks, giving the impression of a gentle, possibly late afternoon or early morning light. The colors are light and pastel, contributing to the overall serene and warm mood of the painting. Ground and Pathways: The ground and pathways are depicted with muted grays, whites, and hints of light brown. There are also touches of green where the grass or plants meet the path, providing a natural transition between the ground and the vegetation. Overall Mood: The painting’s color scheme is bright and warm, with the combination of pinks, reds, greens, and earthy tones creating a cheerful and inviting atmosphere. The use of soft pastels for the sky and building walls contrasts nicely with the vibrant colors of the flowers and greenery, giving the scene a lively yet peaceful feel. The overall effect is a picturesque and tranquil scene, capturing the beauty of a sun-drenched day in a charming, typical of Provence, setting.
