DESCRIPTION
This is a landscape of the Aveyron region in southwest France, a place that cleanses my soul every summer.
 
We stayed in a bungalow and gazed upon this ever-changing view from the terrace every day while having our meals. In the morning, the sun hits the mountain slopes and the water's surface, creating a magnificent mirror-like reflection.
 
At noon, the river is filled with sunlight, and people enjoy swimming and boating. As the sun sets behind the mountains, stars appear in the night sky, and we look up, counting shooting stars. I truly love these moments.
 
This unforgettable landscape was painted with the delicate and heartfelt sensibilities of a Japanese artist.
