L Atelier du peintre

The Artist's Studio

Home to Gilles Sacksick artist in residence, Quercy France.

A small hamlet called La Roche, near Souillac. The entrance with its weathered stone steps which lead to the terrace in front of the house. Pots of geraniums and a lavish display of vine shield the entrance from the summer sun.

The interior of the artists studio with pots and containers of brushes and tools lined a top the mantle piece.Below the mantle is a woodburning stove with rush seat chair and weathered plank wood floors.

A closer view of the pottery used and filled with the brushes and rows of letters sandwiched between the pots. A open shelf above the mantle in front of a sun washed light ochre washed wall.

The view from the front of the studio looking toward the main living quarters. Another open shelf for holding tools and brushes, the copper palate is used for mixing colour with hot wax.

The exterior of the house with the pitched roof, shingles and pale stone cut exterior.
