This week’s theme is just what I needed. Last week, I visited the colourful French village small town of Collioure, so colourful that it has attracted artists like Braque, Derain, Picasso, Matisse or Foujita.

I just love the beauty of the architecture of Europe. Especially the really simple but lovely buildings.
Where do they get these wonderful colors to paint their houses? Wonderful view to the sea.
I wish I was advebturesome enough to paint my house in a bright color. Of course, it is more effective by the sea, I think. Love the photos, especially the one through the wall.
I love the colors there.
When we visited Portofino in Italy I was enchanted by the colors of the houses.
Your photos are lovely. It must have been a joy living there or just simply going there!
Mine is up too. Have a great week ahead!
Leave it to you to come up with the prettiest photos of the day! Just gorgeous. Those colors are stunning and THAT is true color. Well done, Claude. Really enjoyed it.
(And as you’ll see next Sat. “I” can’t draw either…but I’m having fun trying and that’s what counts)
Thanks for sharing those lovely photos. The one with the blue window and gate really caught my eye.
Je pense que Collioure se prend plus pour une ville que pour un village…à vérifier ! Couleurs étonnantes !!!
These are wonderful Claude. I especially love that light blue window and gate…. beautiful.
Oh, how beautiful! Thanks for posting these. I had no idea those little towns existed.
I, too, love the architecture of Europe. Van Gogh’s exhibit at the Neue Gallery in NYC is fabulous.
There is something about the light in that part of France — it is the same in Santa Fe and New Mexico in general. It attracted Georgia O’Keeffe and other artists just as France’s light did…
