I was fortunate to have the opportunity to visit my friend Lorrianne Couette, and her wonderful family in Mougins, France during the Fall of 2012. I was able to haul my paints and canvas around by bus to paint in a few cool locations around the French Rivera. It was such a joy to visit the Chagall, Matisse and Contemporary Museums in Nice. I was also very inspired by my visit to the Bonnard museum in Le Cannet. And the food.... loved all the fresh and delicious food!
Here are a few paintings I did while I was there and when I returned home. Guess who the inspiration is for my still life paintings?
