Bonjour Amis,
May I introduce Sweet Marie and Beau Luc...They are my newest Limited Edition prints.
There is a small romantic story and purchase information on my website
http://www.martischmidt.com/marie_beau.html
Each day as I prepare for my art sabbatical to France,I get more and more excited.
Preparing myself with the language is my greatest challenge.
As I français d'étude (study french) I have found several wonderful tools.
One of these is "French Word A Day'
Todays word is :
bousculer-to jostle, push, shove; to bump into or against;
to rush, hurry up, to shake or liven up
Which is exactly what I needed to know.
Anyway,I have added this link for those of you who want to learn French with me...
we could écrivez et parlez le français together and that would help me loads.

I also added a link for your email addresses receive these blogs from time to time.
Stay tuned, there is plus pour venir( more to come)
au revoir à plus tard
Marti
Salute!
Well all of the reservations are made and deposits sent, so things are moving as planned.
I practice my French everyday and study once a week with my French tutor Mme. Michele Klinge.
The language is finally melding with my brain, I do understand more and more but my conversation is rough.
Each step is an adventure, but I am leaving a lot to chance as I believe all will work as it should.
Planning for my art supplies is my next phase, as I am sure there are great art stores there. It will be exciting to see what is different there and how I will use it to express myself and this wonderful life experience.
The attached photo is of the converted barn next to my cottage that I will use as a painting studio was once owned by an artist who was friends with the niece of Virgina Wolf. I am sure the energy and spirit of these talented women will inspire me while I am in that space.
Check back next month for le chapitre suivant (the next chapter.)
à bientôt
Marti
Bonjour mes amis,
As I continue to prepare for my voyage to another land, I have begun to paint the series " Sur ma Voie" (On My Way). These small paintings are all collage on canvas, 16'' x 20 ''or 20'' x 20'', utilizing my handprinted fabrics, blockprints, paint and other mixed media. This collection is similar in style to my larger paintings and all are ready for hanging.
Priced at $500.00 each + S& H. They can be hung individually or in groups.
Let me know which ones you would like to add to your collection.
and in advance,
Merci Beaucoup!!
Marti
Stay tuned for more new artwork !
Bonjour! This fall I have the wonderful opportunity to visit France and paint there for two months! I have found my beautiful little cottage and art studio in the south west of France near Toulouse. Lots of space and light. And so... I have begun a series of paintings to sell exclusively on this blog site to help get me there.Great Art at a Great Price, Oui, Oui !!
Please stay tuned as I will be posting my many exciting adventures and creations here.
Au revoir my friends!
