This is a copy of the Purple Alps landscape painted while the family was on holiday in the South of France in 1964, long before Christine emigrated there in 1971. In the post of the original painting, I have explained the reason for the title ‘Purple Alps’. In this version the whole purple rendition has been toned down considerably. Perhaps Christine had already become sceptical about all that purple her friend Harry was seeing. Unfortunately, there is no signature and date, so we don’t know when it was painted. Additionally, it’s a non-standard size so that is not a clue as to whether she used an English board or the standardized sizes found in France, but I suspect it was done in England before Christine finally emigrated to France in 1971.
