I have done some studio work on the vineyard painting and it is complete enough to sit in a corner waiting for inspiration to touch it up. By the way, they have a website under construction http://www.chateaubourguet.fr/index.php.
Everyone is welcome to stop by the Yellow Boat Studio, Salt Marsh Pottery Building, 1167 Russells Mills Rd., South Dartmouth, MA 02748, Tel 508.636.4813 and see the result and, please, critique. Several have already.
The question is where do we take this blog now? We have been delighted with how much delight our friends and family have derived from it. We would like to hear from you. jp@saltmarsh.com The general consensus so far seems to be "get out there and have more adventures and tell us about them." Of course, we will try to get back to Southwestern France, maybe rent a gite (summer cottage). I want to paint Michele's cows (black and white) and Anya's (rust and white). We already miss it and the warm friends we made. Russia has been suggested. Or Norway. Or Istambul. Or Venice. In September we go to Oregon and there may be an RV adventure to some wild area or a tour of the many vineyards and wineries. Let's see if they will fill up our jerry cans with new wine as they will in France. Somehow wine, especially ROUGE, keeps comming up with me. I will keep making occasional posts to this blog but will not, pending your sugggestions, email out a general notice of posts until another adventure is afoot.
Ca va? Ca va bien. Au revior. Bon journee.
JP & Betsy
