Back in Provence for more painting.
We are back in Provence. A new painting trip has started. This time, the teacher is a watercolorist from California, Sandy Delehanty. Sandy has been teaching on three of our trips already and this is a fourth one, although the first in Provence.
For the last month, the weather has been gorgeous. It is not a May weather but a July weather. If the farmers are not happy about it, we sure are, especially our painters.
Margaret, who have already been on our painting tour to Belgium 2 years ago, is painting the entrance of our charming Bed & Breakfast. The inn has the right name since it is called “les volets bleus” meaning “blue shutters”.

All shutters are blue, even the ones at Bonnie’s room. Bonnie is our star. It is her fourth tour with us. She follows her teacher Sandy everywhere and especially on our tours. By the way, Bonnie is the one who had me started on painting trips….I will always be so thankful to her.
Our star Bonnie
Here is the entire group for our welcome dinner at the inn. From left to right: Jan, Barbara, me, Sandy (the teacher), Bonnie, Linda C, Linda A and Margaret.
Our first dinner
Food in France is delicious but at the inn, it is exquisite: here is a little sample:
Our hors d'oeuvre called "entree" in France
That was just our first day.
Stay tuned for more adventure.
