We take our time leaving Avignon.  We sit in a little cafe as we talk about our plans for the day.  All the villages we'll see.  The quaint farms.  All the food.  But nothing prepared us for the beautiful fields of sunflowers making their surroundings even brighter.  What will we find in Cannes and Nice?

This painting would look best in a space that is deep red, yellow, orange, green, blue, dark purple, black, white, grey, beige, or wood.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!


HAPPY NEW YEAR!

As I look back, I find myself reflecting on the past year and those who have helped shape my art. It’s been quite a year for us all! I hope that 2018 has been just as memorable for you, your colleagues and your loved ones. I look forward to working with you in the years to come.

Your Friend,
Michael Kraus

On the far side of the farm was a field where a few of the animals were allowed to wander.  She went to see the flowers and got more than she bargained for.  As soon as she came over the small hills the animals began to gather around her.  It didn't take long for most of them to wander away when they realized she didn't have any food for them.  That is, all except for one white goat.  For the rest of the afternoon, the white goat followed her around the farm.  It'd nudge her arm for affection.  It'd bleat at her when it was bored at standing in a specific area.  But, most of all, it wanted to be her friend.
