Brushstrokes & French Daydreams in France 2027

June 23, 2026 Artist

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.
