Standing Next to Alice

This painting is inspired by the Chateau at Carrouges, close to my studio in Pays de Loire, Northern France. The chateau is surrounded by a moat, walled in a beautiful wall with oval details. The painting is structured on a grid pattern, taken from the Rose Garden in the ground of the chateau, and you can see the development of this painting in week 15 of my weekly garden blogs, and week 9 of my weekly studio blogs, available on my website
