Snow

A very thin layer of white snow was covering the ground when we woke up yesterday. I can’t wait for the first “real” snow, the one that will stay until next spring. It will be our first winter here, quite a change with Montreal. This is what the last...

On a semi-break

I am taking a semi-break today, it has been a busy week, web and art combined. Back on Monday with news from the benefit! I wish you a relaxing weekend! Photo taken in Marseille a few years back.

Come with me, to the sea

Pastel on stone Some of the pebbles I painted during the weekend. Whales and turtles seemed appropriate for these stones. pRiyA sent me this most interesting link in response to last Friday’s post on mushrooms. The photos on this site take a long time to upload...

Peculiar

The bottom of the bag of pebbles is starting to show, they went by so fast! I am finding ways to let the texture and color of the stones peak trough the drawings. I think my favourite medium up to now is the pastel. It just works so well on the grainy surface of the...
