kervéguen gite: Les Monts d'Arrée
http://kerveguengite.blogspot.com/2009/03/les-monts-darree.html
Escape to the rural heart of Brittany. Within easy reach of the gite are forests, lakes and the spectacular west coast of Brittany. About 15 minutes' drive to the north of Kervéguen gite is another sort of landscape altogether: the open moorland of Les Monts d'Arée. Although only 1000 feet high these ancient hills make up for their lack of stature with spectacular views to the north coast and over central Brittany. A great place for a walk on a hot summer day or a cold winter morning. Kervéguen gite is n...

kervéguen gite: Les forêts
http://kerveguengite.blogspot.com/2009/01/les-forets.html
Escape to the rural heart of Brittany. One of the best things about the centre of Finistère is the forest. Miles and miles of footpaths run through peaceful, ancient and sometimes mysterious woodland. It's a walker's and cyclist's paradise. The national park around Huelgoat (less than 10 minutes away) is, rightly, famous. But there are also days and days of discovery in other nearby forests where you'll be undisturbed from one end of the day to another. Our Brittany Ferries listing is here. Kervéguen git...

http://kerveguengite.blogspot.com/2008/07/beaches.html
Escape to the rural heart of Brittany. Brittany is a big place. Staying on one of the coasts means a. Drive if you want to visit any of the others. The central position of Kervéguen gite means the north and west coasts are only an hour away and much of the south coast about two hours by car. Plestin-les-Grèves is one hour to the north:. St Nic is one hour to the west:. As you can see, the beaches of Brittany aren't overcrowded! Our Brittany Ferries listing is here. Beat the credit/currency crunch! Kervég...

kervéguen art: Green landscape
http://wwwkerveguenart.blogspot.com/2009/09/green-landscape.html
Monday, 14 September 2009. After taking the painting outside to work on, I quickly changed my mind as the autumnal wind whipped up and blew the easel over on to my head! So the painting was finished off in the studio. It symbolised the end of the summer to me, as this painting has accompanied me through the holidays, looking after children and animals and managing to grab a few hours here and there to paint. 20cm X 20cm oil on canvas 245€ unframed.

Monday, 3 August 2009. I've been standing at the end of our drive painting this scene, trying to create a sort of stormy feel. The only problem being that it's been fairly sunny here so getting the colours right is mainly from memory. I wanted to capture the temperament of the Breton landscape in rain swept conditions. I've used a warm grey and titanium white for the sky and raw umber, raw sienna and terre vert for the trees. 20cm X 20cm oil on canvas 245€ unframed. Oil on canvas 60cm X 50cm 645€.

Thursday, 13 August 2009. Things are progressing with the painting. It's amazing how many people you meet when you paint outside, even on a small country road! I think in hindsight it would have been a lot easier if I had done a poster study beforehand as balancing out the colour values as I go is tricky. Also the light changes depending on the weather and having a reminder of the colours would have been useful. 20cm X 20cm oil on canvas 245€ unframed. Oil on canvas 60cm X 50cm 645€.

kervéguen art: Alterations
http://wwwkerveguenart.blogspot.com/2009/02/alterations.html
Saturday, 7 February 2009. I decided to change the composition a bit and create more drama by darkening the foreground and creating a path leading into the picture from the right. The balance of tones is working better now although I think I'll soften the dominant hills in the next sitting. I'll also start building more detail into the foreground, adding grasses and hawthorne. 20cm X 20cm oil on canvas 245€ unframed. Oil on canvas 60cm X 50cm 645€. Oil on canvas 30cm X 40cm 495€.
