Tickled

When we visited Jérôme Cothias’s during dimanche à la campagne we met Laurent Bessot, an artist who uses red wine and beer to colour the drawings he creates. We had seen one displayed on his stall, that was rather amusing. It tickled me that there was someone making Champagne jokes, and I certainly never thought I’d get them. Brian and I both agreed it would be a fun piece of art to have in the house.

We asked Laurent if he would be able to personalise it for us. He happily agreed and set about it straight away.

He has a lovely style, and the finished piece was exactly what we wanted. When he had packed it for us he stood to give us the painting and shake our hands. It was then that Brian noticed his shoes and laughed, saying “Can I take a picture of your shoes?”.

“You should see my car”, he said.

We love the finished result, and can’t wait to find a home for it.
