Panchotexane, the bluebonnet of the Alps

The fall season has arrived!!

Life is getting harder, when you wake up it’s still dark outside and when you get home after a sheety day at work, it feels like you did not enjoy the light from this great cloudy and cold day.

LIFE IS HARD MY FRIENDS!!

There is no traditional Berthoud in the part of France where I try to live. No savoyard dishes! Can you believe it!? No paella from dorothee’s mother.

LIFE IS HARD MY FRIENDS!!

You have to work more and more to get money, it’s called the FU _ _ING CRISIS! Soon I will have to stock going the manicure. Can you believe it?

LIFE IS HARD MY FRIENDS!!

Halloween sucks in France. Let’s just say that we are far behing the wonderful decoration and preparation from American’s halloween. Oh! and no Thanksgiving in France, NADA, niet, nothing, que dalle!

LIFE IS HARD MY FRIENDS!!

That is why I feels very reconforting to have a great cup of rum with my dead giraffe (Sorry Nath c’est se que j’ai trouve de plus proche d’un sanglier mort chez moi, en même temps je suis un peu en ville).

Voila c’est pour me faire pardonner de tout mon retard sur le blog et lui donner une raison d’exister. Grace a toi! Thanks to Nath qui m’a redonne la motiv d’écrire!

I am running late on my blog. This past month we have done so many things that i have been storing pics and the stories.

On july 14th we spend 4 days camping at '”The aigle camp'” close to “Les aiguines”, wich is a small village over seeing the Verdon lake. It’s a very quiet and nice place to camp, we did enjoy our stay there.

During those 4 days, we went hiking and climbing, we had lot of fun canyoning in the Verdon river, we also enjoyed swimming in the lake.

Welcome to our new member in the family, Gringo is a male, he is 3 month old and really cut!! He likes to get strokes, he is really clean and loves to play.

I am painting again, this past month I had some spare time to work on my art.

Our new place had some empty walls and not enought color. So here I am painting again. I wanted something a little bite agressive, with mouvement but also with some peacefull parts exactly like LIFE!!!! The subject of this paint!

Not always a straight line, not perfect, with irregularities but a lot of passion and sense in the end.

Like art can be “loved” or “hated”, I will just say that I wish it will create some kind of reaction when you’ll look at it.

Butterflies all over the place! The weather is definitly getting better and better despite some periodic rains, the warm brise brought us so many of them, that I decided to picture it.

And for the ones that haven’t seen our new place yet, here is the Chalet. So much better than our last place. We are really enjoying it.
