Sky watching in Matisse's Collioure
The artist Henri Matisse found much inspiration in the beautiful seaside town in Collioure, France, near the Spanish border. When we visited in April, 2011, we were enchanted by the light and color, just as he was. The sky offered a wide range of blues, from misty pale, to deepest blue reflected in the sea.

What a lovely tour. That third shot is just about perfect to me!
Great tour Kay!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

what a lovely little town, great shots.
My sky is here
What a gorgeous place! I can see why Matisse found so much inspiration! Breathtaking views and skies and colors! Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Kay!

Oh wow, how I love those beautiful skies.Love your photo's
Yes, I can see him here, especially in that third photo, with the harbor and the pretty blue boat. I'm fond of Matisse's paintings, and how wonderful it must have been to visit one of the places where he actually painted them!
I love that pic with the big sky and the boats! Looks like a beautiful area.
Ooh - blues rule this week - gorgeous shots Kay!
They are amazing. Wonderful photos.
What a beautiful place! These photos are calendar worthy!
OoooOooo...what an artistic eye! I especially like the view from the last picture. Creative!
What amazing sights you saw, Kay! I am in awe!
Beautiful shots of the place. Looks very calm and peaceful.
What a beautiful place, I can understand how any artist would be inspired here. I love the deep blue of the sky and water in your fourth shot, I would love to take one of those boats out on the water.
That was a scary story about you and your sibling's sunburns. It can happen so quickly that even an adult could have made a similar mistake.
Beautiful sights.

Inspiring indeed. Very beautiful scenes.
A great collection of photos!
Fabulous photos and that artist and Matisse connection is really cool, thanks for sharing with SWF
Dear Kay: Gorgeous pics! And the lyric quality of Matisse arabesque with brilliant complimentary colour; of blue; it is so variant. The bridge scene and the castle are my favs.
oh my! awesome shots...very nice! thanks for dropping by!
Beautiful photos Kay, - it is wonderful to accompany on your many travels, pictorially, and thank you for sharing so generously. That lovely mottled tree in the last picture makes a wonderful frame for the tower on the hill. Is it an Abbey, a church?
Wonderful skies and beautiful scenery.
Kay, what marvelous photos. Each one is a masterpiece.
Have to love the shape and texture of that tree in the foreground.
Some of your shots are like impressionist paintings, no wonder Matisse took it one step further. Lovely sequence.
What gorgeous photos of a lovely place! You could turn these into paintings!
