La Foulée

This weekend has been very busy, with the exhibition and then today the cross in Crozet. Because it is difficult to have a lot people to draw in small villages, I always want to profit of the events taking place in mine. I get people to draw, but also a nice diary of what goes around here, which is also fun and interesting.

Today it was the 14 edition of the cross in Crozet. Many people run, from the eldest to the youngest children in the village. The foulée is fun, not only to draw, but also to be there. Today I was there with my dog, and I moved around to sketch different people. Some of them I knew, others I didn't. And it was tricky, because everyone, public and runners, moved a lot around!

Beautiful morning today for a run in Crozet, and so sunny after the rain yesterday night. As well a beautiful morning to go out and draw. I arrived a bit late, but luckily just in time to draw the last runners getting to the arrival line :)

Ancient farms in Villeneuve

Everywhere around here is full of ancient farms. Most of them have been reformed into houses, all lands have been sold... Sometimes what it comes out of it is not that nice, but there are many corners that preserve that rural spirit of what it was the unique way of living many years ago in this region. This is in Villeneuve, 15' walking distance from home, in a very sunny autumn afternoon.
