Oil Painting
14 x 11 inches
This is a group of folk dancers at one of the many festivals in southern France.  I didn't really understand the dance but it involves the handling of these wooden sticks and the wearing of wooden shoes called "sabot".  Thinking of how difficult it is to WALK in wooden shoes, I much admired their skill in dancing in them.  And,  the red scarves and black hats added a stylish touch.
