Village de Chabris , French series

I am working on two different blogs , wanted to keep all my French scenes together .

A quint village in the Sologne region, where not much is happening , still close enough to have Parisians use it for summer residence , some are only two room antique houses, ou "une petite maison ancienne "" maison de campagne ", Parisians don't stay in the city when not working . When I was painting this one , I was thinking , spring scene with the light bouncing on the building.

When I was home last year visiting my nephew , it had snowed the night before and we woke up to a beautiful landscape of fresh snow, it had been years since I had been in France in the winter , I always make my trips in Spring or fall , it's not an area where it does snow very much , when I was a child , I think I missed school ounce due to 2 inches of snow , living in New England I have learned what snow is , like today we have 17 inches in two days .
