Our last night in Laroque was the crescendo to this amazing trip. We were honored by the town with a lovely gallery show of the paintings we did here and a reception featuring classical French delectables. It was ah-mazing, the town people seemed so pleased to have us and showed up in full force, including the mayor, who was the lucky recipient of one of Marni's beautiful boat paintings from Collioure.
The curator of the show zoomed in on the work of Terry and Dee, while the photographer was immediately drawn to Claire's paintings, one of which is to be published in the local paper. However, the highlight of the evening was when the owner of the castle home selected one of Dee's whimsical paintings as her favorite piece to keep from the show.
It was an unforgettable authentic French experience, capped by relaxing around Francoise' and Allen's pool under the moonlight. And then....we were gone....
