Convent Art

Guests who've been to stay at Le Couvent previously will know that we have lots of art on the walls. Some of it is 'proper' and worth a bit, and some is from flea markets. The game is to tell which is which. For the past three years we've housed a wonderful oil that belongs to our pal Yvonne - just while her house was being renovated. (It's taken longer than envisaged when she bought the painting, luckily for us.)

 

 

It's by Dominique Caby - a fantastic artist from the nearby village of Nizas. His paintings range from around 600 - 2000 euros. We have three that we own, but Yvonne's picture has disappeared off  to its new home, so we have a gap. Ali's gone over to see Dom and his artist partner, Line Mangin , to choose some paintings that we can have available for sale - and to fill the gap. I'm sure she's having the best time in their atelier among all the squeezed paint tubes.

 


If you are coming to stay at Le Couvent and fancy a visit to Dom's atelier do let us know and we'll take you to meet him. Bring your cheque book, just in case eh?

Time flies, eh?

Actually you housed the painting for just shy of four years! I looked it up. I'm grateful you took such good care of it throughout the dusty renos at both Little French Houses. It looks so fabulous in its new home, I'm going to head off to Dominque's studio for another one at first opportunity. Can't wait to see what Ali turns up with!!! Lots of love xxx
