And more paintings....


"Toulon Bistro"...we loved this little bisto in Toulon amongst very old olive trees. The name "La Feuille de Chou" literally means "cabbage leaf" but is referring to what the pages were called in newspapers in bygone days. The inside of the restaurant has lots of old newspaper pages framed.



"Carqueiranne Village Square"...the city hall with the flags of the European Union, France, and the village of Carqueiranne (red and yellow to represent tulips). Notice the village crest also has tulips and a plow. And our wonderful little bakery that we and all our guests loved.



"Carqueiranne Market"...I certainly miss this Thursday morning ritual! The black dog was a wonderful old Newfoundland dog that was always there lying in the sun....couldn't paint him that way but he had to be in there somehow.



"Carqueiranne Villa"...we enjoyed living there so much...the pool, the wisteria in bloom, Robin the cat, the Matisse print...



"Villa Garden"...it was such a pleasure to look out at the pool, the palms, the olive trees, orange tree, mimosa, etc.
(Robin leaving in a huff after not getting special pate....the only thing he seemed to eat!)
