Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving day! We had a very nice one. Quite a bit different than if we were home. We started with a tour of the Yvonne Jean Haffen house and museum. This is the artist who has made this residency possible  for so many artists over the years. She was a wonderful artist and I am inspired even more to paint seconds in Dinan and the area! Her home is wonderful and her studio is amazing!  Here are a few photos.

The view from her front door. La Vignette, our home for the month, is just below.
The artist painted on her walls. 
Studio light! 
 
The studio is also the bedroom.

Our thanksgiving dinner was delicious!
The town of Dinan is getting ready for Christmas!
 
 
 
And a finished painting of mine.
 
Tomorrow is our exhibit! We bought some goodies and will get the house ready and hang our work on the bulletin board We each have over 20 paintings. 
I don't want it to end! But it will be good to be home again.
A bientot!
