La Couronne de Charlemagne, Cassis, Provence, 2019, charcoal on paper, 24 x 31 cm.
I started this drawing when my wife Ruth and I stayed three nights in Cassis on the coast of Provence, France. We got totally lost driving around searching for a cellar door, when we found ourselves gazing up at this hill named The Crown of Charles The Great. At 329 metres it overlooks the beautiful township of Cassis.
