My soon-to-be studio

I'm excited about my new little studio. It will be in this cozy little ramshackle shack, which we are piecing back together. Basically it needs a new roof and a floor, and we'll be cutting in a new window to overlook the expansive scenery which you can see behind the hut. It's in a nice, quiet, lovely location which will be perfect for creating art. I'll share some more pictures once we've got it fixed up and I am settled inside!

Bonjour!

Well I'm delighted to say that the weather has since warmed since my last post. I still have limited computer access, so I haven't been able to spend as much time updating this blog. In the meantime, here are some pictures of the beautiful surrounding countryside:

La France

Bonjour! We arrived in France about a week and a half ago, taking the train from England all the way down to the south of France. It was surprisingly cold when we got here... an interesting experience considering the house doesn't have central heating, or electric heaters! All we had was a good old fashioned fireplace to keep up warm during dinner in the evenings. I spent many nights wearing 2-3 pairs of socks to bed. I am thankful to say that the weather has since warmed up and we are starting to get back into the routine of being here. I've set up a makeshift indoor art studio, while we work on the little cabin which will be my workspace during the summer. I picked up this cute little canvas and easel from a store the other day, on which I plan to paint a mini abstract. The canvas is only 7cm square. Tiny!
