Painting Château Lafite Rothschild
Painting and looking for subjects while touring in the Medoc region (for my ‘Famous Wine Villages of Bordeaux’ series) I spontaneously stopped my car to immediately paint this picture.
I saw this sight, had no idea which château this is, I simple responded strongly to the scene and the extraordinary light on that warm Medoc evening.
I took a roadside risk with the light, colours and not least, the traffic…
Later I discovered I’d inadvertently painted Château Lafite Rothschild 😀⚓
This is painted entirely on location in one inspired hit.
Inspiration come easily?
What is the nature of ‘Inspiration’, how to find inspiration?
The trick is to be ‘in the grove’; that can take weeks to achieve, how is my secret
This is a painting that flagrantly breaks the rules of painting and yet it is very atmospheric.
Incidentally, since 1855 only one other château has won the right to be added to the original 9 at the top of the Imperial Classification of 1855 list.
