Around the Fountain (St. Paul de Vence)

Painted plein air in St. Paul de Vence -- in the South of France.  I was slightly worried about painting there as the whole beautiful town is teeming with art galleries.  So first I painted inside of this cave like structure looking out at the fountain -- pretty well hidden unless you were looking for me.  I did notice that kids gravitate to all fountains -- with or without water -- bringing their folks in wherever they go. Thus, I did have some visitors but not as many as accompanied me at my easel when I stepped outside the cave to paint it from the outside.

The funny thing was that it was pretty dark in the cave making it tough to see my painting.  Then when I move outside, what was most attractive about the scene was the darkness.  Shortly after starting painting that second one (Red Umbrellas), on goes the light inside that cave.  Hmmmm.
