On the way to La bergerie de Fay from Le Puy because we couldn’t get any other accommodation. La Bergerie was fantastic…. View attachment 177914

My mother used to tell me stories of La Bête du Gévaudan when I was young (she was French). So fun to see La Bête immortalized in Saugues. The diorama exhibit at the museum was fabulous!

 

[Pinomarion]

Best ever purchase for the Camino was my rain poncho! Came in super handy on the way from Saugues to Saint Alban sur Lamignole. Epic rain day….

Nice looking poncho! What brand is it?

 

[Maurice Frank]

Nice! Thank you

Frogg Toggs. I don’t think it’s very durable but it only needs to last me this trip.

Great drawing/painting! I stepped out of this lovely cathedral in 2018 to walk the Le Pey, the Via Podiensis. It is one if my top favorite!

Great cows today from Aumont Aubrac to Domaine de Barena!

They are the most beautiful cows I have ever seen.

I love Frogg Toggs! I wear the rain jacket (and occasionally the matching pants) on every Camino for many years and always keep me dry. They are more robust than they seem.

The drawings are wonderful, thanks for sharing! Are you using watercolor, colored pencils, watercolor pencils?? I would love to know...

 

[Stellamaris]

Thanks for the joyfullness of your drawings, I am planning La voie du Puy next September is it very crowded ? how many pilgrims were at the mass at the Cathedral the morning you left ?

It doesn’t seem very crowded (we missed the mass). But near Conques people seem to be having a bit of difficulty finding accommodation so perhaps a good idea to book ahead.

The very lovely Domaine de Barena in Ferluc

Stunningly beautiful subject and art. We're all lucky to benefit from your talent. Thankyou!

Shouldn't those piles be smiling ...

Shouldn't those piles be smiling ...

I can see they are "hot off the press". @Pinomarion doesn't miss a detail.

A pen and some watercolours….

You bring "magic" to your pen and colors. I love them all, and will miss seeing new ones once you finish.

At least you have pretty shoes! I wore some terribly ugly, yucky coloured boots on that route and looking at them made my eyes hurt. They worked well and gave no blisters but were seriously ugly.

Loved this place in Espeyrac…

I loved Espeyrac and its attractive French architecture, but can't recall this cute place.
May I ask how long each picture takes you on average, to draw and paint from start to finish while on your camino?

Depends on the amount of detail - it takes a while, say 6-8 hours. I like finishing the daily walks by 2 or 3 and then drawing until dinner.

Very time consuming for you. I so appreciate your commitment to paint, and then sharing your awesome artwork with all of us! They make me smile.
