Typical holiday scene from the Dordogne, paddling down stream, under the cliffs, watching the tree-lined banks & groups of laughing holiday makers going by in bright coloured canoes.
My funny & true story … ‘it really DID happened to me’ a plein-air painter
Funny story: I sometimes paint actually in the water when it’s hot. Sitting up to stomach in running cool water is a nice way of basquing whilst working. Such as the above. Sitting still for hours on end can however attract unwelcome guests…. once whilst painting in the river I was attacked by a lamprey eel! Black & ugly it was & it’s bite gave me quiet serious whelps & burns…
How’s that for an occupational hazard?
Can’t say I’ve ever been attacked by an eel, whether painting or not!
All of your past several posts have been a treat to see, Adam.
slippery affair!
braggin’ abour manly exploits of plein-air painting…
