The Hangar Trip to Arles IV

And then it was already Sunday 9 June, time for the last part of our wonderful trip to Arles. After a beautiful breakfast we said goodbye to the lovely Hotel Belesso and followed each other to a different part of the city, to visit 'Les Alyscamps'. That is a very large Roman burial ground (Necropolis), with a Medieval Church and a long, overshadowed lane full of, often beautifully carved, sarcophagus's.

Van Gogh painted les Alyscamps - and so did we.

Somehow there are not many 'action pictures' but everyone found a good place to sit and worked very hard and good that morning!
Wonderful artwork was produced as you can see:

The artists were free to choose their subject, materials, colours and size of paper. The results were truly astonishing and everybody felt they had grown in their work,

12.30, the last line up! It was impressive. After that we said our goodbyes, new great memories created, friendships formed, materials discovered. And then we went back to the Côte! 

I can tell you that the Marinas are very enthusiastic and plan to organise a one-day-trip in July. You will hear about that soon. And of course you can already let us know if you are interested in next year's Spring Trip. We will start our research for the next venue in the new season.

And then lastly:

THIS IS NOT THE LAST POST ABOUT THE ARLES SPRING TRIP. WE WILL SOON POST A VIDEO  WITH MOVING ARTISTS, THE PLACES AND THE ARTWORKS!
