Outbuilding at Château de Campagnac, Sarlat-la-Canéda

 

I don't think I offended my fellow painters, but I did find myself on the outer.

Dordogne River from Domme

 

This was painted from the medieval village of Domme, from a high vantage point -- the river was a long way dogne.

Looking North from Domme, Dordogne

 

This scene was a long way in the distance and I deliberately simplified it as much as possible -- you might say I Dommed it down a little.

Houses at La Roque-Gageac

 

This is a 30 minute sketch of some houses at the village of La Roque-Gageac.  Maybe I succeeded, maybe I flew like a Roque.

Château La Malartrie, La Roque-Gageac

 

A scene similar to this is typically depicted on La Roque-Gageac tourist brochures.  You might say it's classic roque.
