Beautiful Brittany

It's been far too long since I've posted anything, so this is a bunch of images to make up for it. I travelled with 9 others to Brittany for a week of painting the seaside, small port towns, and the pasturelands of this less-travelled part of northern France. We had downright perfect weather and I admit to eating as much butter as possible. In other words, it was a perfect trip.

The long paintings are small: 3.5 x 9" while the rest are 4 x 6". It's fun to paint in one's lap once in a while. As long as there's butter close by.

"Mes Compagnons"

On the Left Bank of the River Seine, directly across from the Louvre museum, a crowded little shop has provided supplies to artists for more than 100 years. Cezanne bought oil paints there. Picasso liked their gray pastels. The shop, Sennelier, is a Paris repository of art history and commerce. And I walked those worn wood floors, too. You can step back in time and be swept up into buying beautiful brushes at the same time. I highly recommend adding this to your tour of Paris.

It's that time of year again...
