Falling in Love with Estivalet's Provence

New original art  from France at the Westport River Gallery. A native of Poland, Elisabeth Estivalet fell in love with the region of Provence when she settled there in the late 1970‚Äôs. Though she holds degrees in both Economics and Philosophy, the countryside of Provence elicited from her a natural artistic talent, and she instinctively embarked on a passionate and lifelong career as an artist. Painting solely with a palette knife, Estivalet taught herself to master the techniques of color management, perspective and composition. What resulted are candid renditions of a tranquil and serene Provence. Estivalet‚Äôs sunny landscapes bring to mind the works of the old Post-Impressionist masters. Click For Others
