January Exhibit

Exhibit at Waverly Auditorium- January 2013



What a wonderful experience to hold an exhibit at Waverly Heights in Gladwyne, PA.


The place was well-lit, accommodated more than 40 paintings, the residents were so appreciative and so many friends and art lovers came to the Opening. Thank you Waverly!

Thanks also to my sister Susan Moynihan, who put together this amazing video of our Gaillac Workshop from July of 2012

Gaillac Workshop Day 7

Sunday arrived and brought the inevitable feeling that our time at the Gite would soon come to a close. We took a quick trip to L'isle sur Tarn where the marche was set up in the village square...


a medieval parade strolled by...


We held a last critique/discussion before lunch and made plans for a last painting session in the afternoon. Some of us headed for the sunflowers...
Pat found some shade sitting next to the van

Gaillac Workshop day 6

Saturday was another perfect weather day for our excursion to the medieval village of Cordes. We got an early start after Petit dejeuner, and spent some time exploring the village...


some of us chose to get some shopping done, while others got right to work...
