France is a gorgeous country.
The Lot Region is a farming area with many small quaint towns, rolling hills and patchwork fields.
I painted in the hot sun, 
getting a well earned farmer-tan,
 looking out across fields and valleys. 
Sheep came up to the fence three times to visit me
 and eat while one sheep piled next to the other. 

 "Give each other room", I called.

Silence

 Oh

 I'm in France  Wrong language

Then the "sheep head" bleated and off they ambled for 
greener pastures

still stuck to one another

RURAL LIFE IN FRANCE

RURAL LIFE IN FRANCE

France is an amazing country, romantic and beautiful.  

In the Lot Region, the hills roll and twist as they follow river valleys. 

 Honestly, everywhere you look, is a scene worthy of painting.  

During our artists' 10 day retreat with DreamaTollePerry (not a workshop), 

we took in as much as we possibly could.  

Except for two days, we visited quaint villages near our home 

base in tiny Frayssinet, 

a village of fewer than 300 souls. 

I painted everyday, either watercolor postcards or in my watercolor journal

 or a larger oil painting. 

"Rural Life in France" was a hike of about 1/2 mile from the artist compound.  My load was heavy, carrying paints, easel, and all other necessary equipment.  I didn't tire; the anticipation was great. 

 I have so much more to share!
