La fLeUrIsTe ~ Rue des Halles ~ Verteuil~sur~Charente

jane Courquin >La Fleuriste Verteuil< 2013 oil on canvas

Studies around the French village where I live include several of the local flower shop  in Rue des Halles. They were part of a series of work i did inspired by Eric Ravillious's 1930s shop windows for >High Street<. I visited the Ravillious exhibition at the London War Museum  in 2002 with fellow artist Nichollas Hamper, book publisher David Fickling and Printmaker Publications Publisher Nick Gingell. Another Oxford based friend had lent one of his Ravillious paintings to the exhibition and we were keen to see how it was exhibited amongst the collection.
My >Fleuriste Rue des Halles< painting is Oil on canvas and measures 80 x 80 cms.
