Friends, painting, fun days in Angers. Thanks Alexis for organizing : )
Mattie and I, once again, made a mistake with the train ticket and had to buy another return tickets. It seems like an ongoing theme this year, but thanks to the mistake, we had an afternoon by the river ; )
Sometime in May 2017, when Mattie and I visited friends in Angers, France.

We went picnic’ing, we swam at a lake, I met a giant dog, it was a good time : )
Sadly the picture doesn’t show the real size of this dog, it was huge!
We are planning to go to Angers end of this month, can’t wait : )
Alexis Poline is a friend, an artist, a member of Moderne Jazz, who practices judo (seriously), swims and lives in Angers. Alexis’ love for his town is great, and he invited me and Mattie many times over, but never got around to it until this day on May 15. This day was the opening of his solo exhibition in Angers, a perfect occasion to visit him unannounced and surprise him.
Although Alexis didn’t look so surprised when we arrived (did we surprise you Alexis? hehe), I was surprised with his canvases. Even though I already knew his work pretty well, I never had the occasion to see his large format canvas in person. Standing there, looking at his three giant paintings. levitating away from the walls, I wished I lived in a huge house and had lots of money to buy all three of them. Well, maybe one day.
The exhibition was titled <Histoire Courte d’un Paysage>, and it finished on May 22. But you can follow and see more of Alexis’ works on his Flickr, his fairly new Instagram and his collection of inspiring images on his blog Deep Sea Adventures.
