To Market ... To Market

The colors, scents and tastes of the markets we've visited inspire us to ... pause, paint, and wish you were here.

How blessed are we!  We get to return to the Dordogne Region to explore, create and enjoy our amazing hosts at Le Vieux Couvent.  We hope to post while we're there so join us on www.levieuxcouvent.com our adventure.

Change in dates

With all that is going on in our busy lives, we have decided to postpone this adventure to early May 2011, It will be wonderful to experience this colorful region while the poppies are blooming. We have dropped the price $200.00 and it will include more touring and less guided instruction in creating art. What better way than to experience the culture of the region than to explore it! There will still be time for individual creating and both Lynda and I can help mentor on this creative journey. For information, contact me at ahair51@aol.com.

Memories of France

We've been home about 2 months but the memories still linger. Watched "Julie and Julia" the other day and saw the famous bookstore "Shakespeare and Company" we visited while there. It was one of those "I was there!" moments. I'm already delivering paintings of France to the galleries and they are so excited to have them.
I was telling someone that they should join us on our next trip (Oct. 2010) and she said I was still sparkling when I talked about it. It's hard not to...it was magical! You have to experience it to realize how truly magical it is. Join us! Email me for information. ahair51@aol.com.
