The fireplace and the salon

I think you could cook (God forbid!) a whole four legged animal in this fireplace. The couch is a strange green with a gold bamboo leaf pattern... I did not have the correct pigment but my cousin had in her paint box a small jar of Golden's gold leaf flake gel. Mmmmm. Nice. Looks better in person- the gold is brilliant in truth.

  1. Hi Tilly,
    I just realized that you are quite close to where I live, namely 70 km south of Angouleme. It was your beautiful watercolour painting that attracted my attention and I very much enjoyed discovering the others from your trip, too. In case you have time and feel like it, you are very welcome to come and visit me.
    We are in the process of moving but nevertheless I would love to meet you! Let me know, what you think...

  3. Liza- I would have loved to meet you!!!! Angouleme is such an under-explored territory for me. Are you moving far? Still in the area? I've already moved on to Paris! Perhaps next year?

  4. That's a pity, but I wish you a wonderful time in Paris, the dream city! We are staying in this area, but will be travelling quite a bit.
    If you come back next year and we happen to be here at the same time, we must get together!
