Christine my ole friend!! Thank you for watching along and leaving me a msg. I hope you’ve been well? Gosh the things we do hey but you know when I ‘cock up’ my friends say it makes for amusing content. Bisous bisous 😘
Congratulations Darlene, what a wonderful gallery you have created. Your paintings are simply beautiful. You have grown into such a confident, beautiful, and multi-talented young woman. It is so lovely to see that the little girl playing the piano in the lounge room in Callala Bay has blossomed so exquisitely. 💕💕💕 Lyn xxx
Aww Lyn, thank you 🤩 🙏 I’ve had a very blessed life and I can’t believe you have known us for so long! Thank you for your encouragement and for following my journey here in France. XX
Absolutely FABULOUS they are all BEAUTIFUL. you are an exceptional artist. You should be selling your beautiful work share the beauty to all. OMG is that the kitten you found? Wow she is big and happy great rescue❤
I know how hard you worked up to this happening! Bravo Darlene...congratulations on what seems a very successful Vernissage and I hope your gallery space flourishes. Your art is fabulous! 🥰🤩💖
Wow … you are a very talented lady Darlene… your work is beautiful… Congratulations on the opening of your gallery warmest wishes for a wonderful successful future in your happy place. Regards Denise… Sydney… Australia 🇦🇺
You are so talented!!!! Wow!!!! Your pets are adorable and I like how you all interact with each other. I think your art show went really well. Great vlog!!
Jenny from Adelaide here. Congratulations to a wonderful artist! So glad to see the opening of your artist studio and gallery. Felicitations Darlene! J''adore tes peintures Tu as raiment du talent!
Congratulations. I think your watercolors, botanicals and those beautiful cards will be some of your best sellers. While I think the portraits are just lovely, they are very specific and might take longer to sell. Wonderful work.
Congratulations. Starting life all over in another country so far away from Australia isn't easy at our age. It's full of highs and lows, challenges and invaluable lessons in life. You seem to be taking it in your stride. Well done. Maria e Rowan
OMG so true Maria! It has certainly been more challenging than I had imagined but life is what we make it and so I persevere with the difficult times which makes something like opening my own little galerie all the more enjoyable. Thank you for your lovely msg, bon journée 😊
@@DarleneLavett I've found it the same moving to Italy & France but I couldn't ever live with the regret of not giving it a go! Celebrate all the little wins along the way......
OMG 😧 I was very embarrassed! It was so great you could make it. I hope you’re staying cool with all of this hot weather. We must catch up again soon. x
@@DarleneLavett It’s certainly been very hot 🥵 and yes be lovely to have a catch up, maybe me you and Andy could meet up for lunch sometime but not in Sarlat as it’s a nightmare just now 🤦♀️ xxx
Congatulations to you on opening your gallery .Absolutely wonderful .Can we purchase cards and tags whilst living in Britain I truly hope so .❤❤❤.Always such a refreshing vlog.
So true Claire! At one point I just wanted to close the doors. It’s a different country, culture, language, art tastes… etc but I’ve persevered. Not everyone likes my work and I’m more than ok with that. Thanks for following my channel.
Beautiful paintings Darlene. I love the detail you put into them. Your studio is charming & glad you had a great turn out. I'm sure you will have sold well. Great help from hubby Shaun too.🧡🙏🎨🖼🎉
🤭🤣 I made a similar faux pas in Spain at my BIL's pre wedding dinner. I thought Spanish and Italian was fairly similar, but my in laws spoke Catalan, so when I said "I'll see you Sunday for the wedding" it translated to "I'll see you boobies for the wedding". It's lovely to see how the community has accepted you.
😂 oh that made me laugh! I hate to think what else I’ve done or said 🤭 wait till you see part 2 of my ‘Le Vernissage’, that’s when you will see the incredible community spirit of Daglan!
Congratulations! What a wonderful opening, so nice to see your community coming out to support you and your art. Your paintings are lovely - you are really good at painting faces. Did you study art or are you self-taught?
Thank you Robin that is very kind of you. This community really is incredible. It was a ‘soft opening’ too as I didn’t advertise anywhere. Word of mouth meant about 50 people attended the opening. I am self taught but I did get some help from my artistic mother when I was growing up. Other than that, I’ve just found a number of incredible artists that have inspired me to learn and improve. ☺️
Lovely gallery .I think “exposition” sounds more like exposing yourself haha .I love painting on rocks ,I sold a good few .Hope you did well on your exposition .x
Thank you Sandra. I’ve sold both of those pieces now and have started work on more. The Mayor bought one and my dear friend John Francois bought the other. ☺️
Yes I do it is www.etsy.com/au/shop/Lavettdesigns. You can access it by clicking on the Etsy link on my channel page. Thank you for your interest and for watching along.
I love how the locals are happy to help with your French.
Your work is just beautiful, you are so talented, wishing you every success....you have a fabulous hubby too. Well done!!!
Thank you so much Kate. I’m a lucky lady indeed. 😀
My gosh, what an unbelievable artist you are! I'm blown away! The details are simply outstanding! Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖
Thank you so much Jackie. The French tend to like abstract work but I do love the details.
Congratulations on your beautiful gallery opening, your paintings are amazing. Wishing you much success. ❤
Thank you so much Jane.

That was such a lovely evening 🥰 and so funny your little faux pas on your poster, I bet the local chaps were very excited when they read that! 🤣

Vous êtes très talentueuse Darlene, vos tableaux sont magnifiques. J'espère que vous vous épanouissez dans votre petit village français ❤
Merci beaucoup! J'aime mon village et la vie en France 🇫🇷
Well done ! It’s always an apprehensive thing the first time you put on an exhibition and see how people respond to your work . ❤

BEST WISHES TO YOU
Beautiful paintings Darlene. I love the detail you put into them. Your studio is charming & glad you had a great turn out. I'm sure you will have sold well. Great help from hubby Shaun too.🧡🙏🎨🖼🎉
Thank you! He’s a real catch that hubby of mine ☺️ It is a lovely little art space and I’m staying very busy during the National summer holidays here.
