Saturday in Sucy!

I'm sort of getting the days mixed up but it's okay, you get the gist.. On Saturday we painted in the morning and then had a wonderful brunch at a local cafe .The sister city committee had taken our art ( that we brought) and framed and displayed them beautifully! 

Waiting for the cafe to open.

                   Look at how pretty our work looks! Betty Tufankjian and Nancy Howells here...

After brunch  we all were taken to their local cultural center where there are all sorts of art activities going on- clay, painting, woodworking, cooking and music- all within the walls of an old castle...amazing.
We could choose to make macaroons or paint wooden pieces to look like old wine crates- I had no trouble choosing! Although we sampled some cheesecake and fig macaroons- yummy

Our funny and  fun french art instructor- she taught us how to mix powdered pigment into paint and layer colors- with wax in between. We had a blast.

                       Cedric Musso- the President de l'association pour le Jumelage.

                                                Everything they do is on a volunteer basis.
