Today, 31 years ago

Today, 31 years ago, I landed in Montreal, Canada for the first time. I was wearing wool tights under my jeans and layers of sweaters, because, coming from France, I heard that Canada is COLD...
Little did I know! What a delightful surprise to discover Indian summer...

Masc workshop at the Ottawa Library, Sunnyside branch

Today I had the pleasure to teach a workshop on "Introduction to gouache" at the Sunnyside library in Ottawa organized by Masc programs for seniors (www.masconline.ca) in partnership with the Ottawa Library.
Some of my students had no previous experience with painting before. Look at their wonderful artwork!
