A high canvas of this slightly winding Landes road going into the pine forest.

The golden trunks of the trees stand out against a clear, cloudy sky where we can make out a sun that is trying to break through. The fern-covered ground and the pine tree grooves, treated in warm colours, contrast with the blue-black tree tops.

The Landes forest is a reminder of the artist’s childhood in Bordeaux. It is the matrix of her family holidays in the hamlet of Mayne, her father’s birthplace, in the village of Salles in Gironde. Omnipresent at the gates of Bordeaux, crossed during her trips to her cousins’ home in Arcachon, it has always been a natural place for walks that could not fail to impress, by this uninhabited world filled to infinity with the same trees, a child sensitive to her environment.

The small train barrier in the foreground symbolically holds the viewer’s and/or the painter’s and/or the child’s gaze, attracted by the sylvan immensity towards which the road flees.
