Painting Soir d'automne by PAPAIL | Painting Figurative Landscapes Oil

Born in Rennes, Papail has been living for the past few years in the town of Regnéville-sur-Mer in Normandy where she spends her time depicting her favourite subject, the seascapes. She is a trained economist and a stay at home mom who began her training in art at the beginning of the 2000s when she signed up for a class for fun that would enable her to practice various techniques. Her first works, made with watercolours and oil pastels, quickly made her want to try oil painting. In her paintings, Françoise likes to transcribe the myriad of clouds and shards of lights that bathe the coast of the Channel on her canvas, much like a poet who might choose to compose an ode, day after day, to his loved one.
