ART: French Landscape Artist Paul Madeline

Paul Madeline was a French landscape painter who lived and worked in Paris at a time when both the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements were very prominent on the French Art scene.  






Paul Madeline studied painting under E. Chaly and became a member of the Societe des Artistes Francais in 1897, the same year he won his first honorable mention.  

Three years later, he won another honorable mention when his work was exhibited in the United States.  

By 1910, he was a full member of the Salon Nationale des Beaux-Arts. He was known for his French landscape paintings with their sumptuous colors and with loose brushstrokes. 




What impressed me most was Paul's use of light and shadow. You can almost feel the heat in some of his works displaying an almost Carribbean sunshine, but it is a sunny part of France.









I hope you have enjoyed 
this tiny glimpse of French landscape artist Paul Madeline. 

Please note I left out all the boring parts, just for YOU! 

BOOK: Update on Belterra Sequel, Dark Return by Carol Ann Kauffman

Dear Gentle Readers,

This is the cover most of you are familiar with for Belterra. Thousands of copies of Belterra have been downloaded with this cover. It is not the first one, which was taken in a grape vineyard in Italy in 2006.

Grape Vineyard in Tuscany

taken by ME after a few lovely 

samples of extremely

good red wine.

The newest cover, by the wonderful Suzi Albracht of Wickedly Awesome Designs, is by far the best at conveying an image of the story.

The Time After Time Series follows a pair of unlikely lovers on their adventures through their many lifetimes together. In Belterra,  our pair of lovers is on an alien planet divided into four tribes.

Can one person make a difference?

When Neeka, daughter of the Lord of the Warrior Clan, was out picking lavender in their vast fields of the West, she felt a stirring in her heart. She felt him coming for her, and she was ready for him. 

When Braedon, Lord of the Soldier Clan of the East, rode into those lavender fields, searching for the woman he had dreamed of so often, he had no idea if she were even real. But there she was, standing there looking up at him, smiling. 

He reached his hand down to her. She accepted, thus beginning their new adventures together, changing not only their lives forever, but the course of life, unity, and the political structure on their planet forever. An alien planet. 


Or is it?

I am finishing up the sequel to Belterra, called Dark Return, Belterra Book 2. It is ready to roll. I just got the finalized cover artwork. 

I will be giving it away in December to my newsletter group, a wonderful bunch of readers who have supported me for years, who have stood with me through bad editing, Amazon's removal of reviews saying all those people from London and Glasgow were my neighbors, and who have encouraged me to keep writing when I felt overwhelmed and underloved. 

If you think you could fit in this group, please sign up for my newsletter here:

Have a great weekend!
