Welcome to my 17th century French manor house.  It, she, found me twenty years ago and I have been restoring her with deep respect ever since. As  I am an international painter, working in Los Angeles, and on locations, this is now the preferred studio where much of my work is created.  This house and her obscenely beautiful seaside views are my inspirations and muse.  I am only a privileged custodian, and I know it.  Our Great Dane, Cali, as in California, is not amused by my longer sessions- but since she can potentially nick the occasional saucisson, she tolerates my dedication.  Thank God she can't drink my wine.
