Annecy
Annecy
W/C The delightful, alpine, canal village of Annecy, France. Just about 40 miles south of Geneva, in the French alps, this romantic village just waited to be painted. Every where I turned was an intriguing scene. The French flower boxes are everywhere and add a lovely touch of color. Of course my family and I thoroughly enjoyed dining in the cafes alone the canals.

Children at the Annecy Well
Children at the Annecy Well
W/C The delightful, alpine, canal village of Annecy, France. Just about 40 miles south of Geneva, in the French alps, this romantic village just waited to be painted. Every where I turned was an intriguing scene. The young children standing at the well with their reflections in the water, just had to be painted. The flower boxes are everywhere and add a lovely touch of color. Of course my family and I thoroughly enjoyed dining in the cafes alone the canals.

La Petite France
La Petite France
W/C La Petite France is a delightful, medieval quarter of Strassbourg, France. The half-timbered houses, giant sycamore trees, cobblestone streets and the locks make it truly a fascinating place. La Maison d’Tanneurs is a famous restaurant in what was the original tanning house. The young girl and boy are my children and this was painted during a visit by my in-laws while we were living in Germany. Strassbourg is one of my favorite cities in Alsace.

Medieval Harbor, Honfleur
Medieval Harbor, Honfleur
W/C Honfleur, France is a delightful medieval village. It is an artist’s paradise. There is a lock system that keeps the old harbor full. Boats enter only during high tide twice a day. Outside the inner harbor boats will be laying on their keels when the tide is out. Fresh mussels and “Fruit de Mer” are specialties. When I wasn’t painting, my husband and I enjoyed the outdoor cafes.

Paris in the Springtime
Paris in the Springtime
Spring at Montmartre, Paris. This beautiful double-decker Venetian carousel epitomized the beauty and thrill of spring in Paris. The excitement of the children (and adults) and delight at riding the carousel are very evident. The beauty of the Sacre Coeur adds to the joy of the scene. There is a magic of Paris, especially at Montmartre. It is still a painters delight. Paris with our two young children, is scene through very different eyes than Paris as young adults. First my husband and I and then, with our two children we have always enjoyed our experiences

Sunflower Fields, France
Sunflower Fields, France
W/C Loire, Valley, France- In late summer, the sunflower fields provide a beautiful contrast in color. This particular day grew cloudy and gray, but the bright yellow flowers were set off against the gray and appealed to me. My children were playing at the base of the flowers and were only half as tall as the stalks and were quite hidden.
