The Landscape Art of Gordon Frickers
How was your Christmas day?
Did all your bells jingle?
Good for you and those you love I hope?
Christmas day means many things to many people; the basic message is peace and good will to all people.
I’ll drink to that.
Will you join me in that?
I was fortunate; a lovely day, warm under blue skies.
Lunch was by invitation of French friends who speak fair English at the ancient bastide of Castelnau de Montmiral.

That is what I’ve just done for my “Château de Saurs” which 76 x 121 cm (30″ x 48″), oils on canvas, available, £12,500.
A merry evening !
Busy days, a selection of photos, everything except Cahors where i was unable to take a photograph, mostly these are from this West Tarn region.

Other photos, other places visited in the past few days and with a bit of luck and a following wind, back to the famous town of Cahors.
L’isle sur Tarn near Gaillac, a beautiful, fun and games afternoon in the sun with friends, ‘marketing’.

As the weather here begins to turn chilly, I’m beginning to organise my visit to a sunnier clime, Toulouse and Gaillac, late November. I’m warming myself thinking of sunny days in the wine regions, of places like the South facing Chateau de Saurs, while my thoughts turn to ‘how do I restart the central heating’ … Read more
Today, while working on the Titanic / Plymouth painting, in contrast, I am thinking of Gaillac [and Toulouse] beginning to plan for a late November sortie to Bordeaux and Gaillac wine regions, an adventure to be rich with surprises !
Like to join me there?
I have the honour of being invited by the Directrice Pôle Culture & Attractivité to a meeting just before the opening of the next grand festival des lanternes (1er décembre 2018 – 6 février 2019).
