I think you and your family have been extraordinarily brave and cheerful through all your recent upheavals and distractions I include Louis in that. Is there any guess about when you will be settled as before? Your art has certainly not suffered,and today's bowl seems to be smiling.

Cheers,
Fanny

A few weeks ago I bought your book "Postcard from Provence" - marvelous.
- the past is surpassed and helps us continue to believe that tomorrow will be better -
Your simple paintings are beautiful. With simple objects your hand creates a masterful art.
- Bravo l'artiste -

Painter’s notes

I've lost or mislaid a lot 'props' in the chaos of the last few months, I hope they'll turn up. This bowl was made by Sophie Lassagne in St. Remy (though she has now moved to Arles). Sophie makes beautifully shaped, highly polished ceramics that sort of wink out of the dark
