Sweet morning light(in Provence)

The light in the south of France seems to make everything more beautiful.  This road in St Remy leads to Chateau Roussan.  It has a long history, but is now a place for travelers to rest.  If ever in this part of the world stop here.  I set up looking away from the chateau, and down long road with the tallest old sycamore trees.  Someone said they were planted for shade for the soldiers of Napolean.  I tried to capture this morning light as it hit the field of grass and came shining through the trees on a 9x12 panel.  After I got home I used that panel to do this piece on a larger canvas.
