Saturday 28. 07. 18 Had lunch with Stan and Marg at the HOP yesterday. Bizarre seeing them in Toronto instead of Clermont.
Journal
Niagara-on-the-Lake
Tuesday 24. 07. 18 Just back from a couple of days chez Veronica and Arthur. We had a great time with some tasty meals, good chats and a wander through town. Here is a Cardinal on their bird feeder.
Santa Maria
Tuesday 17. 07. 18 Rode to the beach in Mèze this morning but it was quite windy so continued on to Séte where this replica of the Santa Maria is moored for a few days. I am always surprised at how small these ships were.
Ruskin
Tuesday 10. 07. 18 I have been reading John Ruskin’s The Elements of Drawing and keep meaning to do some plein air sketches but I get distracted by the sunshine and warm water as at Mèze today.
Musée de Lodève
Sunday 08. 07. 18 Rode over to the new renovated museum this morning. It is a lot bigger and they have done a great job on the renos but I still find it an odd mix with the Paul Dardé sculptures and the archeological exhibits. Did this little watercolour in the afternoon.
Watercolour
Saturday 07. 07. 18 Was clearing up the studio and noticed that I hadn’t done any small watercolours for a while.
Summer is here
Monday 25. 06. 18 And the living is easy. Finally made it to Trois Digues today for the first time this year. Wonderful, the sea was refreshing but not cold.
Father’s Day
Tuesday 19. 06. 18 This is from Daisy’s Facebook page. I couldn’t have wished for a better Father’s Day present.
A nice idea, but…
Friday 15. 06. 18 Here is another one from our trip. This time it is a monoprint of the Dutch landscape overprinted on my journal plus our friends in acrylic. Unfortunately it didn’t work!
Captain’s dinner
Wednesday 13. 06. 18 This is a sketch of our dinner on the last night aboard the Fluvius. The ‘Captain’s Dinner” was 5 courses instead of the usual 4 but it was rather disappointing. The one redeeming feature was free wine!
