Beatrice Coron and Lancelot

This past weekend I did an amazing 2 day workshop with Beatrice Coron, paper cutter extraordinary. (See www.beatricecoron.com). Sadly the class was widely oversubscribed or Lancelot would have done it with me. However I need not have worried."Ouf" said Lancelot, who has been practicing making french sounds in his sleep, "Je suis Lancelot Le Herrison." (I am Lancelot the Hedgehog, I can do anything) "Je peux faire toute" A flick of his wrist and a click of the blades and Voila!

Lancelot at the beach

On hot Summer evenings Lancelot has taken to going to the beach in the late afternoons and painting. I recently had the pleasure of speaking with him and asked if he had any tips he could give the aspiring "plein air" painter. Lancelot thought for a moment and chewed his brush. (Lancelot likes to be helpful.)So here is Lancelot's tip of the week: "Always carry a credit card canceling machine when you paint outdoors"  Thank you, Lancelot. Please check back regularly for more useful hints on achieving the ultimate in "hedgie" lifestyle.
