Dear Sir,
I admire your site and the thoughts. Having spent eight weeks in Concremiers near Le Blanc, I know what a beautiful landscape exists there. I created a series of drawings in the area working outside everyday. I draw with what I find using natural materials as brushes and pens, such as Queen Anne’s Lace, Wild Teasel etc.
I am in the process of trying to figure out some of the names of plants still. There is a new edition of “The European Garden Flora Flowering Plants: A Manual for the Identification of Plants Cultivated in Europe” I just discovered.
Please share where you are. My goal is to also move to some area of central France to work and live.
Hi Tad and thanks for dropping by.
We live in Chabris, a small market town on the river Cher, about 100km north of Concremiers. I expect the countryside is very similar.
I dropped in on your web site and was fascinated by your work. What talent!
If you are stuck for any plant names please email me with a photograph and I will try to assist.
Best regards, Colin
