France...............!



Next week I will be flying to Paris with my wife, Flávia. We will travel to Provence in Southern France... then at the end of June we’lll go to Figeac, Dordogne, Southwest France, to spend one week at Chateau Beduer, near Figeac. Some of my students will take part in a holiday painting course with Adam Cope, who has invited me and my wife to join the group. Although I’m not going to take part in the course, it’s going to be a great opportunity to practice plein air painting, a different experience than studio painting. So…in the next weeks, I’ll be posting my French odyssey: a few programmed posts, travel photos, my travel sketchbook, week at Chateau Beduer, and my French adventures after Beduer….! I’d like to thank Adam Cope, a talented English-French painter, who has been so kind with me and my students…and thank you everyone who has visited my blog and left such nice and supportive comments! Au Revoir………;-)

Na próxima semana eu e minha esposa, Flávia, estaremos indo para Paris...depois para a região da Provence e, no final de junho, para Figeac, na região da Dordogne, para passar uma semana no Chateau Beduer, localizado próximo a esta cidade. Alguns dos meus alunos vão participar de um curso de pintura ao ar livre com Adam Cope que, gentilmente, me convidou para pintar junto com o grupo. Embora eu não vá participar do curso, acho que será uma ótima oportunidade para praticar "plein air painting", que se distingue totalmente da pintura em estúdio. Dessa forma, nas próximas semanas, vou postar a minha “odisséia” francesa: alguns posts já programados, fotos de viagem, meu sketchbook de viagem (com desenhos, pinturas, etc), a semana em Beduer e a continuação da viagem após a estadia no Chateau...! Gostaria ainda de agradecer ao Adam Cope, um talentoso artista inglês residente na França, pela sua gentileza em nos fornecer todas as informações necessárias...e muito obrigado a todos que visitam meu blog e deixam comentários positivos! Au Revoir................ :-)
