I am winding down my month in Europe with three days in Giverny and three days in Paris. While in Giverny, we stayed at a hidden gem of a B&B, L'Oree de Giverny. There are several little cottages on this private property, tucked away behind tall shrubs. Our room was large and modern inside, well lit, airy. We looked out on the lawn and garden, were greeted with wine (yes please!) and a warm welcome.

The owners, Regis and Veronique Werth, spoke English and provided loads of suggestions of where to go and what to see... in addition to a wonderful breakfast (including the best croissants I've eaten in Europe). Best of all were the couples we met at breakfast, German, British, French and artists all!

I was honored today when Regis created a new page on his website called "Artists Corner" and featured my work.

And yesterday, while visiting Monet's House & Gardens, I sat down to sketch in a quiet corner of the gardens....

...when in just a few minutes I was swamped by a lot of children, all excited about drawing and watercolors. What a joyful mayhem!

Oh la la, Giverny, you have been an amazing experience! Merci!
