Bourdeiiles (Dordogne) Hotel Griffons Pictorial art 1 / 20 2

vvswan68 – Bourdeiiles (Dordogne) Hotel Griffons
The painting portrays a peaceful riverside scene of a small French city – Bourdeilles. It is dominated by an old arch stone bridge built over a calm, reflective river - Drôme. The strong, muted tones of grey of the bridge give a sense of eternity. The river water beneath reflects both the bridge and the surrounding landscape, creating a mirror-like effect. The surface is rich with blue hues, that contrasts with the colours of the bridge and nearby buildings. In the background, the white-walled hotel Griffons with blue shutters sits serenely among lush green trees and shrubs, its reflection gently rippling in the water below. The sunlight is filtering through the abundant foliage, casting soft shadows and it adds some depth to the scene. The artist’s soft brushstrokes evoke a realistic view of the site, particularly in the depiction of the water, trees, and sky. He stayed in this hotel once and could not help of painting its view across the river. The overall mood is tranquil and serene, as if inviting the viewer to pause and absorb the quiet beauty of a summer day by the river.
