This captivatingly beautiful painting depicts a picturesque village nestled in an enchanting landscape. The bright, contrasting colours are a testament to the artist's skill and daring in transforming a rural scene into a visual poem. In the foreground, the mix of vibrant yellows and bright reds evokes the diversity and richness of the farmland, likely at dusk. The texture of the brushstrokes adds a sense of movement and life to this part of the painting, as if the ground itself were vibrating with energy. In contrast, the cobalt blue trees scattered throughout the field create an unexpected but alluring visual harmony. Their arrangement naturally leads the eye toward the centre of the painting, where the village is located. The village houses, with their orange roofs and white walls, huddle together, suggesting warmth and conviviality. The church tower stands proudly as a landmark and adds a spiritual dimension to the scene. In the background, the majestic mountains under a starry sky add depth and serenity to the whole. The blue and purple shades of the mountain range contrast delicately with the night sky, dotted with twinkling stars. The originality of this work lies in the bold use of unconventional colors and the juxtaposition of textural techniques, which give this painting an almost dreamlike dimension. The artist has managed to capture not only the beauty but also the soul of this rural landscape, transforming a simple countryside scene into a striking artistic expression.

Catherine discovered drawing while seeking refuge in the face of the difficult events that marked her childhood. It offers him an escape and becomes his privileged means of expression. In 1986, Catherine opened her first workshop in Normandy, in order to make a living from her passion.
In 1993, the artist left him to settle in French Polynesia. This year is the year of revelation. The Polynesians became her favorite subject and she painted their faces in oil paint. Four years later, life brings her back to France. Catherine then chooses to settle in Provence. She immediately picks up her brushes and discovers the “magic of pastels". Inspired by the sketches she makes on her walks and travels, she paints flowers, still lifes and her memories of Tahiti.
In 2004, she opened a brand new workshop. She now chooses to pay tribute to the beauty of the landscapes of Brittany and Provence, regularly organizing painting courses for budding artists. Catherine's artistic sensitivity and her ability to convey her passion have attracted many followers. Anxious to maintain a friendly working atmosphere, she forms small groups of passionate amateurs with whom she combines travel and painting, bringing in her luggage a veritable factory of happy memories. Sensitive to movement and light, the artist signs his landscapes with a precise hand, giving the leaves the appearance of “organic mosaics".
True hymns to life, Catherine Tapon's paintings help us face the obstacles and pains of existence by sending us a message of hope in subtly declined colors. His paintings have been exhibited in Papeete, Taipe (Taiwan), Montreal, New York, Recife, Brasilia, Brussels, Paris, Nice, Cannes, Lyon, Shanghai, Pekin...
