Mont Sainte-Victoire

Erisava: Painting the same hill for twenty years sounds mad. I sort of admire it.

What's your take?

Apparently he painted this one mountain outside Aix over and over for the last twenty-odd years of his life — the counts people give run past thirty, once you add the watercolours. Nobody commissioned them as far as I can tell. He just kept going back.

Whether this one's any good I couldn't tell you. The sticking at it, I get.
