Oil Painting with Jeremy le Grice

Jeremy on the terrace this lunchtime, already a bit sun-burnt from a morning in Roussillon.  The weather is already hot, with thunderstorms threatening in the evening, but not much rain.  Last year Jeremy's group were rained on for nearly two weeks, which is almost unheard of,  so they deserve a bit of a break this time.











Jeremy's wife, the interior designer Lyn le Grice, is staying at Les Bassacs for Jeremy's two weeks, and is  painting in oils for the first time in a long time.  Yesterday afternoon, she set up a still life study of some beautiful roses in the shady kitchen courtyard.  If the weather stays like this, the group will be out painting every morning while the light is good, and spend the afternoons in the studio, not straying too far from the pool.
