This lovely fountain is covered with winter flowers at the moment … a real treat for the eyes. This old village is full of charming little corners to be discovered…There is always plenty of inspiration for paintings…

Aperitif in Lourmarin, Provence
I was in Lourmarin in Provence on Sunday going to “the Carnet de Provence show” with 45 artists presenting their wonderful illustrated journals with mixed media and watercolour. What a treat to meet all these very talented international artists and their fabulous work. I met my Facebook friend Christian Couteau and enjoyed the fact that at last I could look at his carnets de voyage and meet in person the great artist !
I returned from this show so uplifted that I hought the best way to keep a souvenir from this great outing was to make my own illustrated page on a journal that I made myself with quality watercolour paper and hand sown pages too.
I chose Lourmarin castle and a bottle of pastis as a symbol of the good life in Provence..Cheers !
Cagnes-sur-Mer : along the cycle track
This is one of our favourite cycle tracks along la Côte d’Azur, from Antibes to Nice “Promenade des Anglais”. Here are cyclists stopped at Cagnes-sur-Mer in front of the boat which is permanently anchored on the beach . I changed its name and colour to make it more sunny as the weather was particularly beautiful and clear that day. Yes even in late Winter you can enjoy a great outdoor life. All you need is to wrap up well!
