Carnet de Voyage - Aquarelles from Normandie

A very happy and productive week with dear friends - Lois and Phillipe in Normandie. Endless painting and sketching combined with lot of laugh, wine and sea-food. Astonishing beauty of the cold (!) sea , landscapes, towns, villages , forest , rain , running clouds. Wind , rain , sun , rain , sun again. You never know if you need the jacket or sunglasses , frequently you need both. Horses , boats and sunsets . Too emotional - to describe it . Come to see photos and paintings !

Three of us ( Andre, Vanessa and Lois) started plein air day in sunny and warm day. Then , in few minutes, it turned into heavy storm and we run into the church . You never can plan for the weather in Normandie ! So, we had to return to this village in another day - to finish our paintings.
