Journal from studies in France.

2021 notes: In 2014, and again in 2016, I was able to go to France and study with several master artists. In 2014, it was with Ted Seth Jacobs, and in 2016 with Michelle Tully at Studio Escalier. Because of COVID, Studio Escalier began online instruction in 2020. So, I’ve been able to study with Michelle online since then…but with no weekend trips around the country. Still, I’m glad to be able to continue studying with Michelle.

Ted, a great teacher and artist, celebrated his 90th birthday when I was there in 2014, but his health was in decline and he passed away several years ago. It’s was a great learning experience for me. I’m so grateful to have had that time.

When there, I took lots of photos and travelled whenever possible. The photos and related comments here are simply reminders for me of these excursions and serve as a type of journal and a memory keeper.

Weekend Run to the Coast

May 18, 2016

On off-days May 13th and 14th, I made an overnight trip to the coast—about two-and-a-half hours away. Plan was to visit two islands, one accessible by ferry only, the other accessible by a bridge. Île d'Yeu, located about 25km off the coast and reached by an half-hour ferry ride was first. The next day I drove over to explore Île de Noirmoutier. While some of these photos look deserted, it was actually a holiday weekend here and there were a lot of people on both islands. (Click on photos to enlarge—some captions have stats on the islands.)
