The Pyrenees, not all of them… (lots of them, not all of them)
The Pyrenees, in this painting, massive, a wild wilderness, often awesome, march mightily across the distant landscape 100 miles to the west.

A painting introduction :
I was told “This painting will … … become a family heirloom”.
This fine painting was commissioned privately to fit over a mantle piece.
A painting for a home which on a clear evening enjoys this sort of sunset and is a few kilometres distance from where at that time when I had a studio in Castelnau de Montmiral.
Both villages listed as un des plus beaux village de France.
The painting enjoys pride of place in a charming ‘maison secondaire’ near the bastide village of Puycelci in the Tarn province.
I used some very innovative techniques on this painting including gold in the trees and an iridescent base for the sunset colours = a magic I wish you could see but nor even the best cameras can capture.
Unfortunately for us this painting is in a private collection so very few people get to see it…
Fortunately the owners wrote :
“Dear Gordon,
Thank you from us both for the most beautiful painting which has come into our lives.
When we first saw it it was breathtakingly lovely but the more we look at it from different angles and at different times of the day, the more we appreciate it. It is suffused with golden light and will give us great joy for the rest of our lives.
I do hope our paths cross again in the future and we do wish you all the very best with your work.
Kind regards”

The Pyrenees painting:
The picture was developed for our discussions and my visiting the location, my clients beautiful home, then subsequent sketches.
The clients had heard of ‘Gordon Frickers’ via the ‘grape vine’ – there are plenty of grape vines in this region…
They phoned to see if it was possible to create a special birthday present, wife to husband, to celebrate and enhance their lovingly restored farm house and I like their idea.
On clear mornings and evenings one can sometimes see the mighty Pyrenees, spectacular sight, from the Tarn even though some 120+ kilometers distant from the Castelnau de Montmiral area.
To make this idea work I visited their home to listen to their ideas & prepare sketches that became this painting.
This original landscape painting was framed in the same oak they used when rebuilding their home.
The extraordinary effects in the fore ground woodlands was in part the result of judicial use of gold paint in the high lights with the greens and browns.
The golden glow the clients refer to was in part achieved by using newly developed florescent white and gold paints from Winsor and Newton, a company W MJ Turner knew and used, still active, still ground breaking..
A presentation followed, Gordon Frickers was able to personally deliver this painting, after which my people wrote:
and:
“Dear Gordon,
Yes do use anything from us if it will help you.
We should be honoured.
Peter sent me the photos you took and that is lovely as it means I can enjoy the painting whilst I’m in London too.
If you need us to speak to any potential clients then of course we would be happy to do that too, either in person or by email.
One can only see the Pyrenees mountains from this area on very clear early mornings and evenings as they are some 100 km from the Tarn.
This painting will do duty in less brilliant weather and I’m told become a family heirloom”.
