Whilst I was looking for interesting local / SW france news and interestingitems I fell upon ( not literally) Perry Taylor. Well you know how I like my
funny animal stories, all about my funny animals, well Perry does not write
about them but draws pictures of what must be them. He sees my pets through
his artists eye in the way I see them in real life.
Perry, originally from Oxford, has settled in the SW with his Dutch wife and
sells his art on the internet, at markets and several boutiques in his
region of the Gers and Hautes-Pyrénées. Perry's cartoons of country life are
a great success. They capture the simplest of pleasures in the French
countryside. Markets, grape picking, hunting, mushroom hunting,
vide-greniers, chance encounters and village life. Full of detail and always
something funny going on, whether it's farmers, expats, ducks or chickens.
He has an online gallery of over 200 different drawings, with prices
starting at 20 euros a print. Perfect as a personal and original gift.
He also sells original drawings and limited edition prints. You can even
commission him to do a piece. I would love one with my donkey girls standing
holding their grey buckets shouting " we want more".
You can see his collection of over 200 prints on his website
