The story behind the image
My mother had always been attracted to art and artworks as her parents had collected a few paintings of artists living in Northern Germany. In the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s she created a number of paintings herself, which I inherited after her death. Here’s one that I really like: it shows a wide avenue in an unspecified town in Southern France. The few people who walk along the avenue enjoy the shadow thrown by tall trees.
I guess it is a fantasy place where she would have liked to live. She had been a fan of France and all things French, probably because her grandmother was born and had been raised in Schlettstadt (Selestat) in Alsace, France.
