I'm having a GLORIOUS time! My mother is getting well! Just talked to her and she sounds like her old self--- she's gaining a bit of weight, she's keeping everyone there on their toes, and she's put in a request/command for some seriously arcane Italian perfume, which she's sure I'll be able to find in Paris, even though I think it has been discontinued. If it's gettable, I'll find it.
Casey Toussaint came for a couple of days, and as each day proved more perfect than the last, we extended her stay for a week! There is nothing like careening around France with another artist who just wants to draw and have fun! Check her blog in the next few days and see how different our takes are on all that we saw and rendered!
Glorious take on Brittany! I always love your water scenes - Tell Casey I say Hi and oh how I envy you two on this frolic!!

I immediately could see Belle Ile and was longing for Pont Aven. Great!

Laura, these are really gorgeous-- can't imagine that scanning will make them look better. :-)

Oh wow, Laura - can see exactly what a glorious time you've been having, and how great to share it with Casey. I'm so happy to see some rocks and water here, but your urban (for want of a better word) scenes are fabulous!
Super news about your mom - hope you find her perfume!

Laura, these are terrific. Your loose, lyrical sketchiness at it's best. So pleased about your mom's health.
