We're Warming Up

Tired Happy Me!
It's Thursday morning here in France, and yesterday was all about warming up our painting...... about getting our sea legs!  Everywhere you look here there is something charming to paint, and we stayed close to home and got the lay of the land, as we continued to adjust to our new surroundings and the nine hour time difference.

Lunch included the most amazing tomatoes grown by the farmer across the street, and a fig salad that was too beautiful not to photograph.  And how about that Karen Cope, helping out in the kitchen!

The afternoon consisted of more painting,

followed by another delicious dinner that included "Goulash Hongrois" and "Profiteroles aux chocolate" which was comprised of small creme puffs covered in chocolate sauce... yum yum!

Today we are venturing out to a medieval town, which should provide some great photo and painting opportunities which I look forward to sharing with you tomorrow!  Au revoir pour l'instant....


Awesome Julie Snyder with her equally awesome sister, Fiona!

  2. Excellent photos - people are painting already! Yayy. That fig salad looks incredible, and I love that there is bread and cheese at every meal. Looking forward to each post - and hopeful that all of you are on fire with inspiration and ideas.
