view of avignon from the palais des papes In 2002 I was able to fulfill a dream of a lifetime and spent nearly two weeks biking through Provence, France.  I fell in love with the fields of poppies, the 400 square miles of vineyards, the olive groves and Roman ruins.  I sailed past old farm houses with the famous red-tiled roofs, peered down from mountain tops at the villages nestled in the valleys, sipped pastis in cafés in the evenings as I watched the crowds strolling in the soft evening light.  The trip, arranged through Euro-Bike & Walking Tours, was perfect and exceeded my expectations in every way.

But the best part is that I was able to stop when I wished, make sketches and take photos. I kept a journal as I was eating a lunch of goat cheese, fresh bread and olives under a roadside tree.  When I returned home, I began a flurry of paintings which hasn't abated yet.  This has also been the inspiration of further biking and art trips I've made in my own countryside and villages.
