Forms dissolve into drifting clouds of color — lavender and blue skies merging with pale stone grays, warm ochres blending seamlessly into glowing oranges. The buildings appear as dreamlike blocks of pigment, shifting gently as if they were memories rather than physical structures. The fluid nature of watercolor creates a luminous haze, allowing shapes to fade, reappear, and softly overlap, giving the composition a poetic, almost meditative rhythm. The painting captures not the place itself, but the emotional resonance of Provence — its quiet warmth, its shimmering light, and its timeless sense of calm.

I love this painting because it feels like a memory unfolding — tender, atmospheric, and full of soft movement. The interplay between warm and cool colors creates a serene balance that always draws me in. It reminds me of the sensation of wandering through Provence in silence, letting the landscape's colors blend into something intimate and deeply personal.
