Joie de Vivre

Last night we went an Art Opening, including the works of my new friends, Pascale and Pascale, both sculture artists. It took place in a nearby Abby that is about 1600 years old. .



The Abby where the Opening was.


The kids playing in the courtyard at the Abby, L and A and Suzanne, Mariolou, and another friend of theirs, Isabelle.





Some of the peices in the exhibit.



Then after that, we got invited to Pascale and Lionel's absolutely amazing house. Again, is it heaven or is it Dinan?

Later at Pascale and Lionel's house.





Voila, Pascale, the genius sculpture artist. Her house is filled with joy, light and color as well as dozens of these earthen creations, amazing and joyful little people, children mostly and mothers.



I call this one heaven and a baby. Isn't it the best thing you've ever seen?



Another little cluster of joyful people.



The kids playing in Pascale and Lionel's backyard (live joyful little people).



Here's the table where we had a cheese course and a dessert after the art opening. The kids always eat first, and at the other Pascale and Dablan's house it was in a different room (outside actually). By the time we ate, the kids were long gone playing.

The backyard workshop where Pascale creates all her masterpeices (and where her girls and their friends also play and create).



The warm greenhouse of little clay masterpieces.






The kids trying to start a movie. They didn't get very far into it. Eventhough we were having a fabulous time, and we did stay until midnight, at some point you have to call it a night, right..."no, mommy, no....."

  1. Wow, those sculptures are amazing! Also, the first two pics of Dinan make me think it must be like going back in time to live there. Do these people realize how lucky they are?
