Sunday afternoon, post a rather traumatic but survivable morning…met with Diana for some sharing of our morning escapades and then we were off to follow a bit more of Cezanne…his studio (one of them) and then, with a little hoof up the hill, another site where he painted, with a great view of Sainte Victoire! Diana was determined to see it in it’s glory…..I had viewed it earlier but never satiated, always new and different perspectives. Another beautiful afternoon with not much of a “Mistral”. I’m living a bit of history in an artist’s surroundings. To see his props, his “accoutrements” that were painted on very notable pieces of work, brings it all to life…and I’m here for the experience! Sounds a bit melodramatic, but it is more humbling to step back in history. It was great to be able to share with another that felt as passionate as I did…..but didn’t realize just how I’d relate….my inner artist is waking up!
We made our way back to the center of town, shared more tales over some wine and a bite…and then we parted ways…I had made a new friend and hope we will meet again. I think it is in our cards as such!

So glad you found a friend in Diana. Where is she from?
