tomorrow is May Day, a significant holiday in France...for the banks, businesses and stores anyway. we have our obligatory Lily of the Valley on the coffee table...i fear mom may ÒaccidentallyÓ use it as an ashtray. the terrace geraniums fell victim to butts-syndrome earlier this year, but are making a nice recovery.
have painting system (we are all about systems now...more on that later) down...collapsable easel, large piece of laminated chipboard for palette, paper on a roll, the nearly-impossible-to-find-in-France paper tape, various jelly jars and rags hung with clips from the easel...all very portable. mornings on the terrace, evenings inside.
now, if i could just think of something suitable to paint....cigarette butts in flower pots? at least its not another view of the old town....
LTM update: mom and bert are working a feverish pace....and visiting the Chandler's (Ship Services Shop) nearly everyday...here is a shot of the most important errand of each boat working day...provisions
