Claudia from Agence Hamilton visited my home atelier and told me my paintings were too small for their office walls, so I was given the challenge of fulfilling 3 large 150 x 100cm oil paintings and four 60 x 80 cm in 2 months all views of the city of Béziers
I had just completed my last commission and had a relatively free diary so took up the gauntlet thrown to me.
I work well to a deadline I think a time limit makes one focus, I had hoped more would be painted sur le motif, but the wet spring weather didn't assist. So most paintings were completed in the studio.

The linen used is antique linen, found in the attic of an old house in our village of Autignac, triple primed with gesso and stapled to the wall in my studio to work on, then stretched on wooden stretchers when dry

I have admired the work ofJean Antoine Injalbert, a french sculptor born in Béziers in 1845, since I first visited Béziers back in 2003, you will find his work all over France, he designed and sculpted many of the war memorials across the country and many statues of Marianne, the female representation of Liberté.

Along with Paul Riquet and Jean Moulin he is revered in Béziers and rightly so

Is it an accurate representation? No! it is an impression
