During the Workshop In Nice we had a lively conversation about how to complete our projects once we returned home from the trip. Each artist had developed a plan for a large work that would be created using the smaller works that we created during the workshop as we traveled about. A couple of artists

I am writing this on Tuesday, November 5, at home in North Adams, MA. Carl and I arrived home from France last Saturday evening around 5, after traveling for 2 days to get here. On Friday, November 1, we left our hotel in Nice via the shuttle bus which took us to the Nice airport.

We had done so much traveling and seen so many things that we decided it was time to stay put at the villa and make use of all this input. Everyone got themselves up and about and fed and we began the day at 9 a.m. From 9-10 the students did an half hour work

Thursday was a long travel day. We took the bus from the villa to near the train station, then walked from there for about 20 minutes down to the Promenade Des Anglais, and just barely caught the bus to St. Paul de Vence in time, an hour ride. St. Paul de Vence is where the

Carl arrived on Thursday around 1:30, jet lagged but wanting to keep on going so that he could turn himself around quickly to the correct sleeping and waking times here in Nice. We went to the apartment

Just a brief post today because I’m busy reuniting with my honey.

Here I am on Wednesday morning, back in Starbucks at 8:30 promptly, to grab my corner table with the plug in. Yesterday, Tuesday, Oct. 15, was a big day. First, I got up early so that I could get to La Lorraine at 7 a.m. for my 2 cafe cremes and one croissant and to
