Sunday 23. 02. 14 Took a ride to Marseillan this morning and then on to Sète and Meze before coming back to Clermont. I shot a video of the ride but so far have not been able to download it from my iPod. Once I have done that I will put it up on the web. This is a view of Sète from across the étang at Meze. It was a beautiful morning.

Friday 21. 02. 14 It is always hard to get back into the groove after being away. The above is a self portrait with my Turkish hat painted direct from life. I have also been working on some new monoprint techniques without success but with a great deal of frustration!!!

Sunday 02. 02. 14 Went to an installation here by Mike Nelson. The main feature was an installation made of of 4 Airstream trailers the oldest of which was made in 1939. I have always wondered what the inside of an Airstream looks like and now I know! It was also Daisy’s birthday today – she was 21.
