So, here we are at Villa Ephrussi Rothschild, on Saint Jean Cap Ferat, in the South of France.

Not only is this Villa, stunningly beautiful, the gardens are a wonderful place to paint. (And the restaurant is also really really good!)

The back story: You see, I spent about two and a half weeks in Europe, the end of May/first of June. The first week teaching on Lake Como, Italy, then I took the train to Nice, France, and met another group there, and taught for a week. I posted about the Italy portion (you can look at my past posts on my blog) and now, I'm covering the week in France.

If I lived in this villa, this would be MY bedroom...
