Sunday, September 5th - Church bells start at 7am, just in case anyone may sleep through Sunday..they ring again at 10am. The bells seems to be in all parts of the town and ring at the same time..quite delightful as long as you don't want to sleep.
Chris went exploring and I work on some paintings. The weather was beautiful, so I opened the front window of our little house and sat there to paint in the sunlight. Sunday was a busy traffic day and the turn around for the tourist tram is in front of our house. The main interest on our corner is the Maison d'Artiste de la Grande Vigne owned by our benefactor - Yvonne Jeanne-Haffen - a large house high above our cottage. Her house is not a museum of her life and paintings and quite impressive. She received a medal for her work by the President of France. Her legacy lives on with her gift to so many artists like me. If you would like to read more about her - search - Maison l'artiste de la Grande Vigne Dinan France.
Anyway, I think some tourists think the cottage is part of the tour and walk around outside. So with me sitting in the window, I think they thought I was part of the attraction, so I usually waved. If I had had any paintings finished, I should have set up a display out front with prices!!! Only kidding!
This was a very productive day and got about five paintings started.
