A vibrant seaside village impressionist oil on canvas painting by H Claude Pizarro.
The intense use of color and heavy impasto allows the viewer to be pulled into the minds eye of the artist and transports them alongside the artist as he sat along the shoreline of this village located in western France near of the Sologne and the Orlean agglomeration.
Saint-Hilaire-Saint-Mesmin is bordered to the north by the Loiret. Its extends further south while preserving its orchards and vineyards. The woods of Folleville and their alleys announce the nearby Sologne while the hamlet of Muids on the edge of the two neighboring municipalities Mareau and Mézières still retains the rural cachet of a village in the city.
The testimonies of the past and an opening to nature cannot leave one indifferent. The artist skillfully asks on that the viewer enjoy the suggested peaceful walk along the riverbank in this bucolic setting of Saint-Hilaire-Saint-Mesmin.
