In the Verdon…

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.

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.

The butterfly effect

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.

This past week, Arno and I were in vacation at Briançon, in the Hautes-Alpes. We had a wonderful weather, warm and very sunny, even our skin can prouve it!

With Arno’s brother, We went for 2 days of ski at Montgenèvre and Puy St Vincent ski resort. I had to say that Puy St Vincent is way better than Montgenèvre ski resort, because of the level of ski (red level ski trail).

On the following days, we went for 2 ski tours. One at the “Col de Thures” (2100m) and the other at the “Col de Laurichard” (2700m).

We had a hard time going up cause, the warm weather made the snow very sticky, just take a look at the pic above, the snow under our skis like gum on the pavement.
