As promised, here are 2 pieces of grown-up art that we have purchased this summer. I know we are living on a tight budget but it's ART. When you have a coup du coeur and generous friends and family who donated to Sophie's art for life fund and our armchair in Issigeac fund (which got raided for the oil painting), you just have to commit.
The oil painting is "The last village" and painted by an artist based in Cadouin. We spotted it at a cafe in Limeuil. I hope to get it back to Canada one day... The piece on the right is Sophie's birth
present (Seb's was a silk screened maritime view) and was made out of various textiles by a neighbour, Elma (a transplanted Scot who married a Parisan and worked in Ethiopia for the UN in the 60s). The snap doesn't do it justice. She found the sacking 1/2 buried and created something around it. It's titled "The forgotten garden" and is glued and stitched and painted.
We are so pleased with them both. So thank you!
