Carmargue – 2

Carmargue by Jon Rowland is a response to the lively activities in and around a small Mediterranean port in Provence. The juxtaposition of the cafes and restaurants along the quayside, the disgorging of fish from the boats, the swing-bridge having to open up to let larger craft into the adjacent basin, the general hubbub, and the architecture gleaming in the sunshine, was the stimulant for this and other paintings, and evoked this vibrant and colourful response.
