Somewhere in the South of France
My first painting in France wasn't on a canvas but on my Volxwagen Camper Van. The van is ugly yet beautiful, small but perfect, loud yet peaceful. Its outside shell is spray painted with long streaks of colour, so when seen from a distance, you'd see the best of France, a field of wheat and lavender, which always felt like freedom to me. Distant trees, vibrant green, and a rugged cypress, alone and out of place, tall like a tower. I'm a painter in Europe who lives in a Volkswagen. "A hippy lost in France, trying to find San Francisco," as some locals have teased; Un hippie perdu en France, essayant de retrouver San Francisco. I just laugh along and think to myself, I would never go back.
