• This artist in residency has been beyond my dreams. And anyone who really knows me knows I dreamt big applying for a spot here at @chateau_orquevaux. Thanks to @ziggyattias_art I have been able to spread my wings creatively with lots of talent surrounding me and just paint. With that being said, I have taken in this place in every way. The architecture, the beauty of God’s green earth 🌍 and then those who inspire me. I wanted to capture my month-long life here. And this is a typical scene after dinner sometimes when we sit in the salon and visit. Ziggy is right there among us sharing stories and building relationships. Sneaking this photo, I was inspired to paint it for its authenticity and sense of beautiful light. Scroll and see detail shots and the first progress shot as I began. Look for more Chateau Life pieces coming! #artistinresidence Carole Forêt 256-777-9496 Artist in Residence @chateau_orquevaux France _________________________________ #artistinresidence #artist #yourlifeisart #art #painting #caroleforet #artgallery #fineartconnoisseurmagazine #caroleforetfineart #huntsvilleartist #downtownhsv #paintinglessons #artlessons #artwork #artistinresidence #modernart #design #commissionedart #interiordecorating #ChateauOart #americanartist #interiordesign #interiorart #paintings #buyart #learntodraw #custompainting #fineart

  • It’s been a spectacular first two weeks of my residency. Here is the group! We had a fabulous time together. Today came the 2nd group of 2-week residents. Looking forward to enjoying them and already missing those from this bunch. @ziggyattias_art makes it great every time! In the photo, I must be dreaming of the croissants.

  • Going to miss this sweet friend! It is the 2 week mark of the residency where some are staying 4 weeks like me and others leave today. So sad to be saying goodbye. But—we get to meet 8 new folks this afternoon when they arrive for their 2 week stay. This is @bevplowmanart and me after a last chat in my studio with the goat I painted. Hugs, Bev,and safe travels—until we meet again. 🎨🎉⚜️❤️🇫🇷#chateauorquevaux #friends #art #artistinresidency #chateaulife #france #orquevaux
