Terry's week 13th-20th August

With the heat building during the week, Terry's group painted in locations elevated above the valley, where the air was slightly fresher.

Thursday being picnic day, the group went to Simiane-la-Rotonde, erstwhile home to the photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson.




His most famous photo of the village was taken on a terrace overlooking the valley.



The terrace is still there


He was a man renowned for his meditative attitude and his 'patient eye' something that painters also have to cultivate!
