Calling All Adventurous Artists! A French Chateau May Await!

Between a new job, moving apartments, and my parents coming to visit from the other side of the world, I have been unable to even log on to Steemit for over a week.

I will be back as soon as possible for more travel photography, but for now, I'll just post some of my dads art.

He has been on a two-week artists residency at Chateau Orquevaux in France's Champagne region. The Chateau is a beautiful old french castle and estate devoted to hosting artists of all forms from painters to writers, so as to get away from all the distractions of regular life.

You can also my dads account at Joebollenartist

He is an artist based in Sydney, Australia, and has been prolifically creating Art of all forms for over 40 years, from political paintings, to surf cartoons, graphic design, and is one of Australia's most influential Vexillologist and Vexillographer (the study of flags, and their design, respectively). So check out his work, and give him a follow.

Cheers!
