Painting in the countryside of France: day 2
We started the day shopping on the market. Everyone had an assignment written in French of course, with what they had to buy for the picnic. Everyone managed, some took more time than others…. We then went to the chocolate maker. Do you know how to make white chocolate? Do you know if chocolate has cocoa butter or vegetal oil in it? Well, we learned all that and tasted it. It was so yummy!!!!!
Bev wanted the picture below to be posted: it is our dessert plate for dinner with all the delicacies from the chocolate maker. Hmmm, I guess she wants you to drool.
We were so lucky with our painting site. Victoria saw a great house with wisteria she wanted to paint. I asked permission to the owner and she was thrilled to have us paint her house and her garden. Her house was painted by the famous artist Giacomino in 1945. She showed us the painting. Amazing!! She invited us back and offered us to have picnic in her garden next time.
Below are paintings from today’s session: one is by Bev Lindsay, the second one by Jackie Carroll, the third one by Patty Phillips and the fourth one by Susan Landi.
Until tomorrow. Jackie G
