Vineyards Near Nice, France

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty


Vineyards Near Nice, France
acrylic paint on canvas board
8" x 10" (20.3 cm x 25.4 cm)

To purchase, please visit: https://www.etsy.com/listing/195164903/vineyards-near-nice-france-original

The uphill climb and apartment complexes disappear as our bikes glide down the Boulevard de la Madeleine.  Around every hairpin turn are terraced farms carved out of the valley.  The dense forest hides our path and provides shade from the blistering sun.  This vineyard is our designated resting spot before our return trip along the Var River.  It's the perfect place to relax as a fragrant cool breeze provides the only sound in this tropical valley. 

This painting would look best in a space that is red, orange, yellow, dark green, blue, purple, black, white, grey, beige, or wood
