Off to Provence

Only a few days from now I will be in Paris and then the next day train to Provence. I'm taking some much needed "me time" in France. I'll be staying in some pretty neat places, Arles, St Paul de Vence, Gardas, and hope to catch the lavender fields in bloom, and sunflowers too. What a treat that would be. I have a nifty portable easels, watercolors and paper will probably be purchased in France, since I prefer French materials anyway. A friend from RISD is joining me on this adventure and it will be interesting to see who spurs who onto painting. Left to my own devices I could easily hang out in cafes all day and wander around aimlessly! I'll try to post photos of my work or at least my destinations as I go....Fun fun,
