Pastels en Perigord, pt. 3

Model of the show

Model of the show

I just received an image of the models for the show from Aurelio and I wanted to share them with you. In the background you will see Philippe Caillat at his computer. He was there much of the time.  There were paintings from a Canadian artist that never got there. Mine took a month and there were delays in other American’s as well. He took care of it all.  And look at the detail that went into planning the show!  Every painting in miniature in it’s place!  John and I were really astounded.  Philippe is the town pharmacist and we wondered how much time he was able to give to his actual job!

Aurelio said that he values this show above others due to the dedication of the local people and town and I can well understand that. I can’t imagine anything like  this taking place in the U.S.

And each year, the town buys at least one painting for their Musee du Pastel.  Imagine that in the US!!!  I feel very fortunate to have been able to participate and bring more Americans to this very worthy show in France. There have been a number of sales so far and I just hope that some of the Americans will sell as well.
