| FRANCE IN COLORFUL BLOOM 12x12 unframed oil on gessobord Click here to purchase For ten colorful painting days I stayed in this magical place. In this courtyard alone at Le Vieux Couvent in the Lot Region of France there were painting opportunities to last for weeks. I love the color of the flowers, medieval stone building, and the shade umbrella. |

| "Village Charm" 12x12 oil on gessobord Click here to purchase Frayssinet is such a charming village I thought I would tell you just a bit more about this little town in which I stayed for ten days. Just across the street plus a bit is the old medieval catholic church, which you can see it center in the photo just below and the last photo as well. Church bells ring every hour and half hour 24/7. It is a delightful sound, something one quickly comes to love. The foreground of the photo below is the artists lodging, Le Vieux convent, a 17th century convent. (Le Vieux means old) See third photo as well. The town is situated on a hill with the lower part of the village being the town center. The hike to the top is strenuous but every step is scenic. One stone building is adjacent to the next. Around the edges of the tiny community is farming, with fields in colorful patchwork. |
