Walking and sketching : Charmey, La Monse

Sunday morning was perfect for a walk with a sketchpad and paints in the mountains. I chose a familiar spot, a path know since childhood : La Monse

I sat under a spruce and set out my paints for a view of one of the farmhouses. Half an hour was enough for this piece.

Passing along the gravel road i stopped to sketch the little chapel (Chapelle de La Monse). Challenging perspective, but it looks ok. Touched up some details at home.

The mountains are so peaceful and rich in inspiration - i feel really lucky to have them at my door!
