Here is an oil painting of Henri’s favourite travel destinations, the Cote d'Azur, the French Riviera at the Mediterranean Sea he visited in 1986. Here he paints a river outlet wedged between some sunbathing hills and mountain ridges. In this painting, Henri tries to express the effects of the long-lasting blistering sun so common in these Mediterranean landscapes. While Henri’s timing of this painting is a somewhat cooler day, with some little overcast; note that the contrast between the elements of water, air and land are still stark.
