Cassis, watercolour on Saunders Waterford Not 425gsm, 141⁄4X251⁄2in (36X65cm)
Provence is exciting aesthetically, it looks good and the light is good, and there are good things to paint at every turn. But how to find a way to depict it that is unlike the countless images made of the place before?

I needed four paintings to make up my set for the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour exhibition in April.
Although I worked with an open mind, four images kept recurring; two were pretty specific, whilst two left room for a little experimentation.
