My painting exhibition in Mâcon

Dear friends,

Thank you so much for coming to the opening of my exhibition last night. I was a bit nervous but it turned out to be a great evening. I was moved to see all my friends there, driving an hour (or more) to be there, all for me!

The crowd (=my friends) was very international, lots of English and Dutch, Swiss, German, Jamaican, Japanese, Australian, American and not to forget French!! I even had an international call from a dear friend in England during the evening! Thank you Jenni, we all love you.

ZING’A'T, or zing à thé, (meaning like ‘zinc bar for tea’) is really a great place to be. It’s a lunchroom/tearoom with art on the wall and on the counter. There is a corner with couches with magazines, brochures and flyers with all cultural info’s you can brouwse. Creative people leave their cards behind. Just drop by for a cup of coffee or tea with their homemade cookies and muffins or have light lunch with friends! It’s cosy.

For those who are planning to go there and for those who are hesitating, ZING’A'T is open from Tuesday to Saturday, from 9 am to 6 pm. Address : 19, rue Dufour in Mâcon tel: 03 85 39 04 56 (Behind the Hôtel de Ville, one of the side street of the shopping street rue Carnot.)

It can be quite busy on weekdays during lunchtime. And my exhibition is till the 7th of November!! Don’t miss it.

My paintings in Chardonnay

Another opportunity came up for me to show some of my paintings at a hotel/bar restaurant  LE CHARDON in Chardonnay.  Yes, it’s the home of thé famous Chardonnay wines. About this charming little wine village and about Le Chardon, you can read more on their website www.lechardon-chardonnay.com

This one is at the bar. It looks like this;

Hard to tell from the picture, but they are mussels.

This still life is hanging nicely in the corridor.

Mine is above the bed. This room is called Pinot Noir.

The owner of this hotel restaurant is a very nice English couple, Rebecca and Nick. They have guests from all over the world. Who knows, you might bump into this place and get to see my paintings. If that happens, and even if it doesn’t, please feel free to leave some comments.

Petite expo chez T’es où Café in Louhans

One of my favorite shops in Louhans is T’es où café. It’s tiny but very cosy and it has a small corner where you can drink tea or coffee. And on the back wall there are three of my small paintings to be seen at this moment.

Mind you, the one in the middle is not a painting but a window.

Not only coffee beans and teas, but you will find all kinds of goodies like chocolates, cookies, confiture and condiments in very nice packages. They also have teapots, cups and small decorative things. Great for gifts.

It’s really worth a visit. Especially the owner (I should have taken his picture but I didn’t!) is a nice guy with taste, always willing to help you. In fact you will feel like you are treated as a real customer. You can see he is passionate and dedicated to run this shop.
