Time is going fast now as we are in the final plans for this art adventure to France.
Two wonderful exciting opportunities have opened up that each of the two groups will get to experience.
First, I wanted to find a French artist with whom we could spend some time. Eureka! Isabelle Viollete, a pastel artist, lives in Fresslines where Monet spent a spring painting, has accepted to meet with us in her studio. You can see some of her beautiful work:

The second is an invitation by the mayor of the small neighboring commune, St.Silvain Montague, near where we are staying, to a reception in our honor, plus hold an art exhibition of our work at their church that dates to the 11th century. We are thrilled and honored. The mayor has had a reception for two of our previous groups but this will be a first to have an art exhibit.
The countdown continues!
