My friends, I can tell you it clearly, La Comtesse is an inspiring
place !! July was an experimentation month.. My friend Elli and Hayley
taught art in English, watercolor for Elli and sculpture for Hayley.
When I lived in California, I attended an art class called " Free your creativity ". Deron Cohen was the teacher (click on his name to found out his work). I was in front of a blank canvas and it was forbidden to take any support to copy. A good way to release non figurative artwork. This is excactly what I want to teach. An exploratory journey through techniques, materials, and colors... So to be continued ... !
Dans l'immédiat, c'est le projet "arbre à mots" qui voit le jour... Parce que j'avais envie de garder une trace de ces belles rencontres faites grâce à nos chambres d'hôtes. Pas de livre d'or à La Comtesse mais un arbre qui va croitre avec le concours de chacun. Une belle oeuvre d'art collective à elle seule, enfin belle, si tout va bien ... !
Bon baisers de La Comtesse et rendez-vous bientôt avec l'arbre à mots !
For now, I officially launch the word tree project. A good way to
keep track of those wonderful guests we had in our B&B. No visitor's
book at La Comtesse but a growing tree getting bigger and bigger thanks
to everyone. A beautiful collective piece of art. Well if everything
goes well...!
Cheers from La Comtesse and stay tuned for the word tree project !
