CARCASSONNE

Collection: France

A medieval city in the south of France. A  fascinating place, pretty much the same as it was centuries ago except for the modern vendors pushing their wares. We spent about an hour there before it grew too dark to navigate the narrow streets. The wife and two of our three kids are in the scene. Our older son must have been chatting with a mademoiselle at the time.

About the Artist

My photo
Brent Perkins
Thank you for visiting my blog. Please spend some time here. I hope you enjoy my paintings. I'm not a professional artist--although I've sold paintings--and I don't have aspirations for becoming one. The fact that I enjoy painting is all the motivation I need to keep dipping the brush and slapping on the paint. I believe there are thousands of other painters who hold a similar philosophy. As you can see I have several categories (collections) listed below that you can view. Once again, enjoy your visit. Bookmark and return again. I appreciate your kind remarks.
