Yup. Nothing like it here in the U.S. I'll have to design and build a French village here some day...

You should! That's a cool idea, and I bet you'll get plenty of offers for the project.

And charm they have! Surrounded by wine grapes and other tasty things to eat, just a beautiful place...

Great painting I wish I could use watercolours like this - maybe I'll try!
Have a great week

They are demanding and take time to learn. I had many weaker ones before I was satisfied, believe me! Thanks for nice words!

I did a couple of dogs. Does that count? Cats and dogs are almost the same aren't they? I did an elephant too.

It can be a challenging medium. Honestly, these days, considering the power of computer software, I would almost encourage young people to just avoid it. However, GOOD DRAWING should always be done with a pencil! My watercolor technique is dense color in small dabs on toned paper, more like gouache, and the brilliant color is informed by american and french impressionism. I don't do broad washes of thin color, as most watercolorists do.
