| From the north to the south, France offers a wide range of painting opportunities. Cathedrals, flowers, the Mediterranean, homes of famous Impressionists, Museums, rivers, harbors, medieval villages, the Eiffel Tower, and the hustle and bustle of people offer opportunities for artists in designing paintings. | ||

Honfleur Harbour Image: OIL on canvas board After a long day's drive from Renaze, sightseeing through Mont St. Michel, Omaha Beach and environs, my group arrived in Honfleur as the sun was sinking in the west. Wonderful shadows on the boats and the harbor made wonderful subjects for photos. Dining on mussels and other fresh seafood was a treat. SOLD |

The Bridge at Armaille, France Painting in ancient villages for a week took us to places like Armaille and La Roe, La Guerche de Bretagne, Chartres, and Bourg d'Ire. Quiet little villages gave us the opportunity to paint without interruption....except for the French couple who were fishing....and made comments about one of the student's work. She thought they wanted to know the price,....but all they were saying was that it was a beautiful painting! |

The Ruins of La Roe Abbey
We had a picnic under the trees at La Roe Abbey, and toured the ruins with great interest. It is in deplorable shape, but rich in history. The mayor of the village has complete control of how money is spent to restore ancient monuments. So tours help to pay for restoration. I can well imagine that the numbers of people going through this abbey will not pay for much restoration over the years.
