Puimoisson Lapin à la Gionot

by Lorri Bromilow

After a previously beautiful sunny day and outdoor evening, we awoke to a grey and rainy day. So, scheduled plans were changed. We painted in the nearby village of Puimoisson, which is a quaint little town with its winding lanes of houses and the men playing pétanque in the main village square. Then after a beautiful lunch prepared by Monica we visited Riez, a stone walled town nestled on the side of a hill. Here we were free to sketch, paint or just stroll and discover the wonderful sites of this 16th century treasure. The evening was celebrated with lots of champagne and frivolity as it was Yves birthday. We enjoyed a sumptuous dinner… Lapin à la Gionot. .baked rabbit with figs and lavender! Monique, what a Chef magnifique !

Ah! Atelier Provence ! What a privilege to be part of it!

Who are we?

We all make art! It is part of culture. It is deeply rooted in human nature as a way of communicating with others. We all need to tell our stories because it is stories that link us all. We are all one, one creative mind! Though, all unique and equipped with unique ways of expressing ourselves. We live in constant search of that unique liberating voice. At Walk the Arts we aim to facilitate our art makers to explore new territories. Our painting classes and art history trips on three continents are meant to be rounded art experiences among small groups of like-minded adults. We offer an environment that fosters creativity. As we always say, art as religion is just a matter of faith. This blog is about living fully the experience of art, about finding our single artistic path, about the joy of art-making. We believe that making art accessible to all will lead to a betterment of our society.

“On Painting” by Gilles Deleuze

Feb 16, 2025

 

A blank canvas is a space brimming with possibilities—“a painting to be made,” as Cézanne wrote. It is what Deleuze calls the “catastrophe”—nothing can be seen, yet everything is there as if one were trapped in the eye of a storm. And from this catastrophe, one must find a way out: the very first stroke, a scribble, clichés to be destroyed, “forms that fade away”; erasing, starting over; “the hand, freed from the eye, runs wild,” and then—there! “The color rises,” and so on until the final work emerges.

Let Go! The Artist’s Way of Cooking

Oct 14, 2018

 

Ten years ago, here in Tuscany, we decided to write a recipe book but with so many good cookbooks in the market, we needed to propose a new idea. We had to find a modus operandi close to who we are and what we do as visual artists. The answer was in front of us and painting gave it to us: art and color!
