Ludwig (new addition to my studio in the great wide open) beckons...

However, I am currently brainstorming on a proposal to unite travel-minded artists on a French journey to further enrich their creative vibes... in a magical area lying south and near the sea; the Languedoc...

... to a retreat in an old Roman village where I call home when in Europe - La Belle Ancienne.

She is certainly steeped in character and for the past few years has thrived with energy amongst artists around the globe; writers, painters, musicians, videographers and even a sculptor. So it's not so far-fetched to imagine this house as a bona fide retreat. It serves as a gîte during the summer months, so facilitating it for artists in residence would be more practical from late autumn to spring. Also, prices seen on the website are for the general public; there would be special rates for artists. So feel free to check out the site. I recently posted a slideshow with a glimpse of this lovely area. I welcome your thoughts should you have some ideas on a travelling adventure...
