Update July 19, 2011
Cheryl and I are back in Auvillar for our third season with VCCA-France in Auvillar, so it's 6 months here, 6 in Vancouver, and so on.....
Update July 15, 2009
Cheryl and I are living in Auvillar, Tarn et Garonne, France until the end of November. She's acting as Directrice of the VCCA-France Artist's Residency here. Our photos have taken a decidedly touristy turn, but hopefully you'll still enjoy them as much as we're enjoying our stay here.
We're doing a blog when we can - france.cherylfortier.com/

Wherever they anchor, they capture the best of all the beauties around them.
