Serenity

Three peaceful days, painting, eating, touring and rowing.  The Seine, especially in this particular part of Normandy, exudes a spiritual force. 
It is possible to go back in time, not so much has changed, and see what inspired the "Masters".  The river is not so beautiful, as it is compelling.  The visual impact is not as magnificent as the silent power of the muse that constantly hovers.
The foggy veil of morning mist, the clarity of afternoon, the wistful sprinkling of light as the sun sets,
This place is a gift to all of the arts.
