This is the view of Le Suquet, the old Cannes, with an unusual quiet and peaceful atmosphere prior to events of all kinds, with the culmination of the famous film festival, attracting crowds of people from all over the world.

This morning, I met Lin Wolff, the owner of the English Book Centre in Valbonne. She kindly suggested I could put some of my original watercolour paintings in her shop for sale. Not only does Lin promote local artists, but she also supports authors organizing literary activities of all kinds. So for art lovers or bookworms , do pop in.

I was happily sketching in front of this really interesting old house in Antibes when the lady who lives there came to see me.  She happens to be an American artist in residence and loves this quaint house. She told me it was a popular house to paint as she saw several times artists gathering around it. It is such a feast of different textures that I could not resist to have a go myself !

A fish and chips stand shaped as a boat at the village fête of Sainte Blaise! It shows how multi-cultural our society is!
