I know I said the next painting would be a French winter scene, but somehow I haven’t quite finished, nor I suspect, has the French winter! As I write this its cold with a howling wind and more snow is expected in many parts of France. We fly out of Paris next Tuesday so suddenly the prospect of snow is a little less exciting! Yesterday though, we spent exploring the centre of Avignon, trudging through the crisp freshly fallen snow – it certainly lends a little atmosphere to my usual photos!

On Sunday we fly up to Paris for two nights and then on to Sydney until the end of March (with a week in NZ in early Feb). I'm very much looking forward to seeing all those friendly faces again!

So, in the meantime, here’s a little painting ‘I prepared earlier’. We called into Portfino on our drive back from Greece in November. Being off season it was very quiet and I was able to photograph it without the tourists. I hope to continue the weekly paintings whilst on the move again - let's see how I manage?!
