International Exhibition

Our thirst for culture knows no bounds. This evening we left the village to go to Collioure for the opening of an exhibition being held in the Château Royal. It was the first time that we'd been in it and was an added bonus. The exhibition took in 30 artists from 8 different countries and there was something for all tastes and pockets ( well, more or less). The painting I really liked, was done coincidently by a namesake of Christian's but at 700€ we passed on the opportunity to buy it. A painter from the commune was also showing and we were lucky enough to have him give us a tour of his work. Cork is often incorporated into his paintings but his work was way out of our league. We thought this other photo of Angelo in front of the painting was quirky. A question of being in the right place at the right time and having an eye for a subject of course!
