Brushstrokes & French Daydreams in France 2027
This year’s trip to France was a beautiful reminder of why we travel with our sketchbooks: to slow down, to notice, to savor. Together we painted castles, vineyards, flowers, and tiny corners of Limoux that felt like secrets whispered just to us. Our days were filled with laughter, discovery, and the kind of creative energy that stays with you long after you’re home.
And now, with those memories still glowing, I’m excited to invite you to join me for France 2027. We’ll return to the charm and color of southern France — with fresh locations, new prompts, and even more opportunities to let your art wander.

Painting in France is a dream come true!
As the leaves turn into marvelous shades of crimson and gold, I am already preparing for my watercolor painting workshop in Limoux, France, June 6-20, 2026! I am looking through my portfolio of watercolor journals dating back to 1991 and picking out my favorite page designs, subjects to paint, techniques that I have made up and techniques that I have learned from fellow artists. My journals are my art muse. Perhaps you have seen one of my articles that I have written for Art Journaling or Somerset Studio?
There is one spot left in my Watercolor Painting Workshop in Limoux, France, 2026! Would you like to learn more about my workshop? For more information, email me.

Evening On Calais Beach – Poem by William Wordsworth
IT is a beauteous evening, calm and free,
The holy time is quiet as a Nun
Breathless with adoration; the broad sun
Is sinking down in its tranquillity;
The gentleness of heaven broods o’er the sea:
Listen! the mighty Being is awake,
And doth with his eternal motion make
A sound like thunder–everlastingly.
Dear Child! dear Girl! that walkest with me here,
If thou appear untouch’d by solemn thought,
Thy nature is not therefore less divine:
Thou liest in Abraham’s bosom all the year;
And worshipp’st at the Temple’s inner shrine,
God being with thee when we know it not.
