Springtime in Roubaix

Under the gentle spring sunshine, on the rooftop garden of his Roubaix studio, the artist painted this plein-air artwork in one sitting from 9AM to 3PM, following the sun's movement accross the blue sky.

The painting shows the rooftop garden with moving shadows accross the canvas - a procession of time through the movement of light.

Painted in oil using the Sgrafitto technique, this bright yellow artwork is a source of joy and warmth.
