    Description

    I live alone in a former school that I have turned into an art school/studio. I teach drawing, painting, modeling, sculpture. . Around the buildings, there is a large garden with fruit trees and a vegetable garden as well as many outbuildings and covered playgrounds turned into carpentry workshops, a Summer kitchen with BBQ and a cooking pot. Another small building, which used to be the canteen, has been turned into an exhibition hall, where I regularly organise private viewings, dinners and shows.

    At the end of the courtyard there is a covered stage for concerts. The house is large and comfortable: 4 bedrooms, bathroom, toilet, large living room, open-plan kitchen and on each side, the former classrooms: on the left, they've been turned into a painter's workshop and on the right into a sculptor's workshop (with all the necessary equipment and materials to practise or discover any art technique. I go away several times a year for external exhibitions. I practice simple living by only doing things I like every day, in a very natural environment and away from the social madness.

    Je vis seul dans une ancienne école communale que j'ai transformé en école d'art ou j'enseigne le dessin, la peinture, le modelage, la sculpture. Il y a autour des bâtiments un grand jardin avec des fruitiers et un potager, beaucoup de dépendances, des préaux transformés en ateliers de menuiserie, en cuisine d'été . Un autre petit bâtiment, l'ancienne cantine, a été transformé en salle d'exposition où j' organise régulièrement des vernissages , repas, spectacles.
    La maison est confortable, grande: 4 chambres , s. de B., W.C. grand séjour, cuisine ouverte , et sur chaque coté: les anciennes salles de classe aménagées en atelier de peinture à gauche, et de sculpture à droite, avec tout le matériel et matériaux nécessaires à la pratique ou la découverte de toutes techniques artistiques. Je me déplace plusieurs fois par an pour des expositions extérieures. Je vis la" sobriété heureuse" en ne faisant chaque jour que ce qui me plait, dans un environnement très naturel et à l'écart de la folie sociale.
