There’s a dive board over the water facing Isle des Lerins that is, to me, a symbol of recklessness and freedom, a testament to the wild spirit of the roaring twenties and the lost generation that lived life to the fullest. My apologies to F. Scott F.

Note; I began painting watercolors during lockdown, when a special friend gave me a set of Kai paints and I’ve painted nearly every day since. Recently someone else said they liked them because “it was like going to the south of France, for a moment”. We all need a little more of that, I think. These two people, basically my entire fan club, encouraged me to share with others. If you find the little faults like I do, just squint your eyes or look away.

Many of my watercolors are available, matted and framed, and shipped off by my son… in a store named, by coincidence, Miles Spencer Watercolor.
