The addition of a woman in the window.
More continuation on the painting. Since the façade is coming along slowly now I have begun working on the interior of the building. I have been having a hell of a time working on getting proportions correct with the woman up in the window. First she’s too small, not she seems too big. She’s like…

A Saturday in Vannes.
This weekend I decided to once again go by another town in Bretagne. I wasn’t sure where to go so after getting a breakfast of a caramel crêpe from the market I went to the train station and looked on the ticket machine for the next departures and were I was leaning towards going by…

Another update on the unobservant man.
I realize it has been a little while since I updated the progress of this piece. It has been going slowly lately. A combination of having to deal with a full schedule of classes, wandering around Bretagne, and an addiction to the stupid little games on my computer like solitaire. Usually I can combat the…

Two ladies.
I went to see Cabaret: Le Musical de Broadway. Of course it was amazing. Although I was not able to get any photos to blog and share. When I walked in they searched bags and I was forced to coat check my camera, for free so it wasn’t too bad. Although this seemed a bit…

A return to Fougères.
Since the castle was closed on Monday and Fougères was such a neat little town a return spur of the moment trip was planned. It still had that eerie feeling with no one about except a few old ladies who gave us odd looks as we walked through their neighborhood taking quick snapshots of their…

A lunch in Dinan.
We left Rennes in the morning with the plan of hopping a few buses to go to Saint Malo, but as we rode the bus through Dinan we decided that we should just hop out and check out this town. Medieval. Steep hills with narrow cobbled winding streets. An antique store or artist gallery on…

Spring break day trip to Fougères.
The other day I was told about how to use the bus system here in France. I kept thinking that it was something like the train system where one needed to find a ticket somehow beforehand, but I found that it is much simpler than that. A person goes to the station pays about €3…
