Adventures in Art: My Gallery Life and Original Paintings

I wish you all the best for 2025!

Many of these paintings have found new homes, and I couldn’t be happier. It feels so rewarding after pouring my heart into being present, spending nearly every day at the gallery. I’ve even set up my atelier in the back, a cozy little space to create, without natural sunlight. But let me tell you, life in the gallery isn’t all peace and quiet—it’s quite the opposite! The noise, the unexpected dramas—it’s a whirlwind. Who knew the art gallery scene on the French Riviera could be so action-packed? I’ve started writing about it, and oh my, it’s shaping up to be quite the story. Please let me know if you want to hear details. Some are so juicy, I’m not sure if I should share.

Today’s Watercolor of the day on my ETSY SHOP for the Nouvelle Galerie Massillon. These watercolors and ink sketches capture the essence of my daily travel adventures. This one is especially dear to me—a charming scene with a dog perched on the lap of someone in a bright red coat. I like the way the cafe is the main focus. Like life can’t even begin until I drink my java. But that dog. It’s still available, for now. This is the cafe and ice cream shop at l’Ayguade beach town.
