another Beautiful Day in Paradise

We are half way through the Spring Art Tour and having a wonderful time.
Participants are producing some wonderful pieces. Just for fun we are holding a friends exhibition and aperitif on thursday 3 rd of June. To share the joy with new friends from this tiny village.

Today we continue to work on a complicated scene of a village on a hill that tumbles down to the river. The river has glass like reflections. A challenging subject that some have chosen to simplify, which was a very wise move.

We have had some wonderful Lunches - Sunday with Madame Murat, Yesterday at Hotel Henry. tomorrow a grand picnic and visit to St Cirq Lapoppie, Pech Merle and a secret village tucked into the cliffs. We will set up and paint some of the most amazing scenery, St Cirq Lapoppie is considered THE most beautiful village in all of France..now that is something! This is why it is filled with artist of course, and just visiting their galleries and viewing their work is great.

We have gone from simple subjects, to complicated. Many of them focus on composition and perspective. We have done some no drawing loose, wet in wet works, these are good fun. We will do some more!

Pure transparent glazing proved to be very popular and helped with holding the work together. Todays goal will be making patterns that work together and linking the darks.

explore each day with new eyes and remain in the now

until next time.... au revoir!
