21. 10. 08. Tuesday. I have been back here just over a week and have been busy with my series on the Hérault. I am documenting the river from source to mouth in a series of 16 drawings, 16 paintings and 16 monoprints. I have finished 3 new paintings and one monoprint since I got back and am hoping to finish the series before Christmas. I have also enrolled in a class for graveurs and am learning various techniques for printmaking – dry point, etching etc. I went to my first one today and was happy that there are only 4 in the class and everyone was very “sympa” and encouraging. As a bonus of course I get to improve my French at the same time learning all these new words. Just had an email from Jan and Ralph Marriott who will be staying here in early November for a couple of days en route to Italy.
