Our art teacher, Charlotte Brown and sculptor friend Martin Looker, along with husband Paul and wife Denise, presented a festival of art last weekend. The venue was at Charlotte’s own home, Les Viollières near Bossay-sur-Claise. It was early on in the current spell of glorious fine weather and the sun shone for them all weekend. The event was called "V Festival d'Art".
The hare is Charlotte's own work, a common theme in her paintings and sculptures.
Martin creates sculptures from discarded items found around his house.
This piece of Martin's work resides permanently in Charlotte's dining room.
Another of Charlotte's hares welcomed visitors to the event.
The structure is part of an old garage filling station that Martin rescued.
One of the exhibitors created fabulous pieces of art from animal skins, displayed in the hall.
Another created gorgeous textiles.

Congratulations to Charlotte and Paul, Martin and Denise for organising this fabulous event.
It's a 'proper' event, so much o see. Must have taken so much thought and planning to organise.
