Summer on the Cote d’Azur, and Lake Annecy too!
Normally we fly up and down to the South of France but once a year we drive down and try and see a little bit more of France on the journeys.
This year we had a great time on the Riviera and on our way home spent a couple of days at Lake Annecy at the small town of Talloires on the East side of the lake. What a beautiful place lake Annecy is, and why hadn’t we been there before!
I feel sure we will go back, but maybe next time in late spring when it will be quieter.
So as usual here are some of the watercolours painted whilst at the Coast and a few of Lake Annecy too. The town of Annecy is very interesting as well and we went there by Water Taxi from Talloires which was a great way to travel.
So first here are the Lake Annecy paintings. As you know I have taken to painting pen and ink washes very quickly in a sketch book so that I can produce larger paintings later on in the studio.

The view from Talloires across lake Annecy to Quingt and it’s Castle. Sketch book watercolour 9.5 inches by 8.
So now here are some of the watercolours from our time on the Coast

One of my favourite places to paint in France! Port de Peche at St Tropez, well away from the Glitz! Watercolour 14 inches by 10.
Here are some sketch book watercolours of the day we spent in Vence. Vence has a lovely old town well worth visit.
(More details on my other blog – http://www.aquarellesdefrance.wordpress.com)
So quite a busy time painting ,sketching, eating and drinking as well as swimming in the pool and the sea. Thank goodness I am retired!
Summer on the Cote d’Azur – just lovely.
Happy travelling
Brian

Dear Brian,
Congratulation for your work looks simply wonderful!
I am writing to you regarding the watercolor painting with Annecy lake. I was wondering if you sell also a digital version (or a quality picture) of the painting. If yes what would be the price?
Looking forward for your feedback.
Thank you,
Hi Ela
The painting is for sale on http://Www.artfinder.com/brianswatercolours
I don’t normally supply digital high quality images
What purpose have you in mind?
You can also commission the Annecy painting
I am afraid I don’t sell copies of the paintings
Thanks for you comments
Brian
