We spent our last day visiting Bordeaux. So much to see but too little time.
We definately need to come back.

Studio 365: Day 293
The highlight of today was our visit to Saint-Emilion, listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1999. After climbing the 171 steps of the bell tower the view of the town and the surrounding countryside was simply and (literally!) breathtaking.
Before returning to Bergerac we visited Chateau de Monbazillac after another spectacular day.
I’m not sure how much more of this I can take!
Studio 365: Day 292
This morning’s view of the bridge over the Dordogne which leads to the centre of Bergerac.
The main square of the 13th century bastide town Monpazier, a member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, and where we had baguette and cheese for lunch.
The spectacular Chateau de Biron which we toured in the afternoon.
This balcony of cascading flowers in the main square of the bastide town of Villeréal was a colorful climax to another memorable day. It just keeps getting tougher!
Studio 365: Day 290
Today has been a day of reflection in which I saw a painting at every sparkling moment:
Trémolat I
Trémolat II
La Roque Saint-Christophe
St Léon sur Vézère
Montignac
Our last stop at the Cave of Lascaux deserves a post of its own when I return home.
It was definitely the highlight of the day.
Studio 365: Day 289
Autumn colors continue to dazzle in the Dordogne with visits today to Sarlat, Domme, La-Roque Gageac, Les Jardins de Marqueyssac and Beynac. Here are just a few photos from a spectacular day, with more to come when we return home.
Studio 365: Day 288
From Southhampton to Bergerac in the Dordogne this morning, with so much to look forward as we explore this beautiful and historic Périgord region of France over the next seven days.
Studio 365: Day 287
What could be better than the perfect day in London, beginning with a latte on Waterloo Station before walking to Tate Britain, with so much to enjoy on the way: the London Eye, Westminster Bridge, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, Churchill’s statue, Richard Coeur de Lion in Old Palace Yard, and then along Millbank to my favourite gallery and a return to the Turners’ and so many other memorable British artists. Come and join me and enjoy the day…
…on to France and the Dordogne in the morning. See you there.
Studio 365: Day 286
From the wonderful October colors on Kitsilano Beach yesterday to the glorious Autumn English countryside today, all in just a few hours…Yes, it’s good to be back.
Studio 365: Day 285
Kitsilano Beach, Vancouver 11.10.15, a happy place to restore the spirit at any time of year…
…as someone showed yesterday leaving this gilded frame surrounding a view of Stanley Park.
Wishing everyone a Happy Canadian Thanksgiving Monday.
Studio 365: Day 284
Table-top abstraction I 11.10.15
Finally, today was clean up day as we leave for England and France tomorrow for two weeks. Underneath all the brushes, palettes and paints were these wonderful serendipitous abstractions. They have a wonderful life of their own I hope you agree.
Table-top abstraction II 11.10.15
Hopefully Wi-Fi will allow Studio 365 to be mobile with my camera and laptop as we travel.
Hasn’t been this tidy in months!
