Marigolds

Hi everybody!

After a very stressful 10 days in wonderful hot Barcelona, I am now back in the studio. We had to find an accomodation for our 17 year old son who will spend his last schoolyear at the Lycée Francais there. Quite a difficult undertaking!
Anyway, back home I was very pleased to find my marigolds in bloom beside my studio door - voila!

P.S. We got our youngest off to school too. It is quite the production.

Beautiful gem of a painting! I've missed seeing your work. We just moved one daughter out to a new apartment & job- 8 hours away...yes, it does take a lot out of you as a parent! whew! Best wishes!

Hi Roxanne,

I am pleased you like it!
Yes, establishing a new home for our son was very exhausting, much more so than I expected. It took us two days at least to recover from it. Especially because we aren't used to the hectic pace of a large city anymore and then on top of that with a foreign language! Now I just hope he will cope - the level at school is much higher and the regulations much stricter than here in France and he will have to work very hard.
