This journal entry is all watercolor. It shows the street near the convent where we stayed in France. 

Andre's house is on the right, and this particular day we spent some time in his gorgeous garden . Wow!! His flowers were so beautiful, he obviously spends a lot of time pottering there..

This little watercolor vignette is from behind the church in Frayssinet.

Alleyways and a surprise 'pop' of irises and moss laden walls, just wonderful!

The last journal entry for today is this scene just around the corner from Le Vieux Couvent. That little red fence and gate was just perfect to accent my scene. And yes, it was actually there.

Another watercolor sketch of the view as you turn right out of Le Vieux Couvent, and follow the road.

All roads seem to lead one back to the same area which was great for me, who is known to be 'directionally challenged' at the best of times!

France Journal Entry ..Le Vieux Couvent..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I am gradually filling this journal with the blast of my France scenes.

This one is going up the hill to le Vieux Couvent where we all stayed.

Missing that wonderful place so much, going through withdrawal I think.

The green gate on the left, is the entrance to the convent..
