One Week to Go

It's difficult to pack up everything an artist needs - particularly because of the restrictions of carrying on liquids. Folding chairs, easels, palettes, an umbrella for sun protection - all destined for the baggage hold, along with clothes, linens, and all sorts of whatnot.

What if Air France loses all the art supplies? Trying to cover every eventuality is impossible, but we're trying.

Welcome

To the blog. I'm writing for Cathy tonight. It's about 10 days before we depart for a month in Brittany-her as artist-in-residence, me as cook and dishwasher, getaway car driver and freelance scrivner. As soon as we land and get set up with Internet, I hope we'll be posting our observations, photos, and her artwork, which will be available for purchase on her return to the States around August 1.

This post is testing the system and my ability to make it work on this side of the ocean, so check back starting in July and see and hear our adventures and misadventures en France.
