"Mysterious Island"

©2008 D.M. Le Bris

I had a desire to play with watercolor today.
Brittany is still on my mind;
memories from childhood during my summer vacations.
Many island lie off the coast of Brittany,
and when I looked out at them at twilight,
they always seemed so mysterious.

"Brittany Landscape"

SOLD

As a child, I spent my summer vacations in Brittany, France.
It is a land of dramatic landscapes, mystery, magic and dark legends.
One legend among thousands says Merlin is imprisoned in Broceliande's forest, trapped by Vivianne the Fay (Lady of the Lake). The Broceliande forest is located in central Brittany near the town of Paimpont.

In this painting I tried to capture Brittany's dramatic landscapes, mystery, magic and legends.

"Wet Land"

I was thinking of Brittany, France, when I created this painting.
As a child I spent my summer vacations there at my uncle's farm.
Every night, before supper,
my cousins and I would have to bring the cows home.
I remember having to walk and run through wet fields
until we found the cows.
We played and laughed all the way,
and on many nights we came home soaking wet
and covered in mud.

Acrylic on watercolor paper. I used a palette knife.
