Добавлен 5 июл 2020
I am a Canadian expat and painter, currently living in France. I spent 2+ years living in Albania prior to my recent move. I work mainly in oils but occasionally in ink or pastel. My style could be said to be a combination of Expressionism and Fauvism. On this channel I will be publishing videos that follow the process of creating a painting from blank canvas to finished work. I will also post fun video clips from my travel experiences.

The Alyscamps historical site began as a vast Roman necropolis as early as 100 BCE which continued to be in use as a cemetery for another 1500 years. Today only one sarcophagi lined path remains, but there are many artefacts also held in the Departmental Museum of Ancient Arles. It is also the site of a medieval church (12th century) and several small chapels. Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Gaugin p...

Glad I found this. I’m actually going to do this tomorrow. Was it easy to find a taxi at St. Naum into Ohrid’s city center? How often does the buses go there? Thanks.
In the tourist season (now) you should have no issue getting a cab. Assuming the busses haven't changed, they leave St. Naum shortly after 9am, 12pm, 2pm. There are a couple more, but those I have confirmed. The return from Ohrid is at 6:30am, 8:30am, 11:30am, 1:30pm, 3:30pm, 6:30pm, 8:30pm. You can ask the driver to take you directly to the border control (a few extra Denar). A cab from Ohrid to St Naum is a fixed rate of 20euros, or 25 to the border I think. Taxis can be scarce on the Albanian side for the return to Pogradec and tend to be a bit pricey. Be sure to go early to really enjoy St. Naum; it is lovely!
Nice video ❤❤
@@DreamWorkBD thank you 🙏
It’s really cool to see it come to life. The tiles are great.
Thanks! I’ll be adding some bright yellow to them when they dry!
Thank you, Karen (: love your nature walk!
Thank you for this gorgeous view and video! Is this area predominantly Muslim? I know when Hoxha was in power all religion was not allowed. What other faiths exist there now?
Albania is roughly 50/50 Muslim and Christian (mostly Orthodox); however extremism is not an issue so far and all faiths are respected.
Nice set up. What is the name of the art store in Tirana?

@@karenespig Thank you so much! I'm loving your videos. I hope France is treating you well!
Thank you, Kristin & Karen for taking the time to share so much great info (: Have a blessed day
Hi! I saw you on Kirsten's video, May I ask ?....Are you still in Albania or did you move to France? If France can you please give me a suggestion on affordable living for a woman on U.S. social security, not much😢, Thx a bunch, Michele... love your ART btw!
Hi I just got to France. Feel free to send me an email karen@karenespig.com with all your questions. I'm still learning about France, but can offer a bit of insight anyway. :)
Thank you! I sent you🌟 an email just now...💫
@@michelereyes just replied :)
Thank you for posting He has an amazing voice
Did you see their passports?
In fact no, they were travelling sans papiers 😂
He's clearly had too much Raki.
🤣 Yes!
Poetry.
It is a special lake to be sure! ❤
I saw your interview with Kristen. I'm considering Albania for retirement in a few years. Just wondering if you had a chance to experience doctors/healthcare yet and, if yes, what that was like? I'm leaning towards Sarandë just because of the close proximity to the Corfu airport ..or Vlore (just know I want beach!). Your lake looks lovely too :)
Hi In the other interview / video I discuss healthcare a bit. It was a year after the Kristin video. Retire There With Gil and Gene. I prefer Vlorë for a long-term stay 😊. They are building a small airport there, and has more services year round than Sarandë. Thanks for watching 😀 Have a great day!

Thanks for interviewing a retiree…many of your interviews understandably focus on younger folks who are still working. Also, I applaud you for refraining from interjecting your own experiences. Is very tempting but you kept the focus on your interviewee. Well done.
Wow. Saying they are large is an understatement!
Yeah! When I first saw it I thought it was a scorpion 🦂 … if that is even possible 😂. It was about 7cm long probably!
Delightful! I can't wait to experience it for myself.
Super! I hope you enjoy it. July or August is the best time to visit Pogradec!
@@karenespig I am in Durres now and am looking for somewhere more low key for a longer time.
Probably worth a visit. Here’s a link to an article I wrote, you might find helpful medium.com/expat-notebooks/pogradec-albania-tips-and-truth-for-tourists-digital-nomads-and-expats-eda5ff1c12cb?sk=560ad2481e1c6b3572b1a35264cc2888
@@karenespig Thank you!
Hey look a tiny home or studio.
😂
As a Canadian -Albanian i"m looking forward to get back to my hometown Tirana. Gonna be one way ticket . I feel it. Its not a turkish coffee , its an italian espresso .
Përshëndetje! Yes, I drink both coffee types now 😂. I’m sure you will enjoy being back in Albania, but you will also likely experience reverse culture shock. I encourage you to meet up with other re-pats once you are there.
Oh thank you , as a former student of international cooeration University of Montreal , I know what you"re talking about @@karenespig . Only 9 years in Canada Montreal and Toronto, its gonna be a slight shock not the strongest one . Anyway Im preparing the resilience Plan . Um subscribing the channel as a start .
Very informative as a fellow Canadian planning to retire to Albania. Thank you so much for this information!
I’m pleased you found it helpful. Thanks for listening 😊
Hey Karen Happy New Year !!
Hi there. Happy New Year 🎉
so interesting............nice sharingggggg

Awesome work! I enjoyed watching your process. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks! My pleasure! This is one of my favourite completed works .
This is gorgeous! It is so peaceful to watch you paint.
Thank you!
Why did you choose Albania? I live in Ottawa and want to retire soon. How did you make the final decision!!💖 I love your art!
Hello, here is a link to a podcast where I probably answer most of your questions ruclips.net/video/c4PpcaE_odE/видео.html . They also have many more podcasts about other destinations. With regards to Albania, the primary driver was cost of living.
@@karenespig Thank you!
