Christabel Forbes has been our artist in residence and general factotum since August. She studied at Falmouth School of Art, (as did Mark Cazalet and Kieran Stiles) and then went on to do the drawing year at the Royal Drawing School. She joined us in August and has been happily painting in the landscape since then. She has produced an exuberant body of work using oils and oil pastels which very ably express her joy at the colours and light of Provence.

This last painting was done in situ on a huge board propped up against the trees and with a thunderstorm threatening - intrepid stuff! She is now off to teach painting in India for three months, something we know she will enjoy greatly. Christabel's
