It is my 3rd contribution to the Virtual Paintout  for this month.
It is the path leading to Sainte Restitude’s beach , in the North of Corsica.
I’ve added this  hiker,to get the picture more lively.

Gouache on Jordan paper 6x8in 15X20cm
This little gouache was painted for The Virtual paintout; the subject this month is Corsica, an island I know quite well.
This village, situated in Balagne, between Calvi and l’Ile Rousse, towering above the whole bay of Calvi, was built in the XV th.C.
Sainte Marie baroque church, was built in 1800. It’s  36 meter steeple  was finished in 1880. There are several other similar ones in Balagne.
