The Plane Trees

In this 8x10" oil painting, the grandeur of the Plane Trees gracing the banks of La Sorgue in Vaucluse comes to life. Known as Sycamores in the United States, these magnificent Plane trees are an essential element of France's identity and the quintessential French way of life. Considered the monarchs of trees, they hold a special place in the hearts of the French. There's an enchanting allure in seeking refuge from the summer heat beneath the expansive canopy of a towering Plane tree while savoring a glass of chilled, dry rosé. These majestic trees serve as the central gathering point in most French villages, particularly in Provence, symbolizing the essence of socializing and cherishing time with loved ones. They bear witness to the intimate moments of quieter seasons and the lively festivities of village celebrations and events with equal grace.
