This year the 2 weeks I got to spend with my sister-in-law, Sheleigh, come to mind as a wonderful time with a great person. It is significant to me, that it was Sheleigh who told me what a special time she had visiting her dying mother in the hospital and how there were no barriers and you could ask any question. I feel fortunate to have been able to be by Sheleigh's side in my turn. It was a great gift to me.
Just returned from a fabulous trip to the Netherlands and France, where I was able to meet a lot of you and to paint, I spent a quiet Thanksgiving with Robert and our three sons and Misha's girlfriend, Kylie.
Sunny Cap d 'Ail (France) in October 2011. This was one of the views from the windows of the apartment my cousin, Rosita, let me stay in, close to Monte Carlo, where I felt like a queen. My Aunt Katya, see earlier blog, had the apartments made and she sure had a vision!It did rain whil
e I was there and that didn't make it any less fascinating. I am planning more watercolors of Cap d'Ail. By the way, I am having prints and cards made of these two, let me know if you are interested.I also started work from another highlight of my trip, besides the meetings with people, which were all very rewarding, the caves at Niaux in the Pyrenees. Together with my dear friend, Yolande, we got to see the cave paintings. They will feature in my next blog.
