Roussillon

Some of the Ocher cliffs used to mine pigment that is used in paint.

Note the colors of the walls and stones. Lots of various shades of ocher.

Roof tiles are unique in Roussillon.

Path up to the church.

Pernes

The village of Perne is famous for it's wall and gates. As many old villages this was their form of protection. Inside the gates are many fountains.

We painted this view from this vantage point.

Lunch break in Pernes.

La Coste

Bob balancing Suzanne on his toe while checking his e-mail. Is he ever hooked on that I-Phone or what?

The Village of La Coste is owned by Pierre Cardin and the Savannah School of Art and Design.

There are only around 400 people in the town, and all are connected to Cardin or the School in some way.


The town is coming back to life due to the restoration done by the two owners.

Abbey de Senanque

This beautiful monastery is located near the town of Gourdes, down a winding road into a deep valley. We painted here on day two of our painting outings. The lavender was just starting to bloom.

Isle Sur La Sorgue

One of the many waterwheels in Isle Sur La Sorgue.

Market day in Isle Sur La Sorgue

Our house was five minutes away from this beautiful village, famous for it's many waterwheels and antique stores. It is an island surrounded by branches of the Sorgue River. There are two markets with over a hundred vendors selling food, clothing, flowers, vegetables, cheese, sausages, lavender, linens. It, also, has a McDonald's, our meeting place for the painters as we ventured to our various painting sites.
