In this series of pieces painted from nature, the artist captures the changing beauty of the landscapes of Occitanie, in France: from the Pyrenees summits to countryside of Comminges. She faithfully represents the lights of the landscapes she observes at different moments of the day, and in different seasons. Painting from nature implies speed and discipline: Valérie de Sarrieu excels in this exercise thanks to the intimate communion she maintains with the landscape and gives her paintings their sweet and endearing poetry. less
