Our day at the Orsay Museum was to meet Catherine Moore and her group that were in Paris the same week as we were. In fact, Catherine is the reason for our smaller group to be there. I had seen her advertisement for her 2011 Artists' Workshop in Paris..........I had purchased the magazine in March of 2010. I immediately called my friend Sara and suggested that some of us sign up for it. She told me that she and her daughter Kimberly had already signed up and that I should call Catherine immediately. Sorry to say, her roster was already full. She had started a cancellation stand-by list and put me on it. In the meantime, I talked to Pat Rogerson in England and Susan Wilkin here in Oklahoma. Soon we were saying, "Why not form our own group to go?" and we ended up with our group of six. Here is Jan in the dining room of the Orsay. We had lunch with Catherine's group and were able to meet the women in her group......well, and two men.....two of the husbands came, one being Dale Moore....Catherine's husband.
Catherine and Dale Moore.......what a great time we had with them as we dined in the restaurant in the Orsay Museum. Catherine was so encouraging to me as our group made plans to make the trip to Paris. She gave me many tips and links to help with our planning. How wonderful to meet her in person! (and a million thanks to Dale for our little transaction!)
A very cherished photo for me. ")
This is our art group....missing only Miss Minori who was not able to join us from Japan. (It was an emotional time for me when it was time to part from Sara and Kimberly.)
Miss Z.............I see such creativity here. I have been able to chat with her online and would like to get to know her better and see some more of her art. Great to meet you, Z!
