The Happy Artist

Chris stood outside his gallery, with his pipe in his hand. He wore his white and black striped jersey and looked more French than English. Chris designs sets for the London stage, but his heart belongs in Argelès where he spends as much time as possible. His grin made me think he had sold another painting. His water colors of the area capture its full ambience. No, it was better. The head of the Argelès Art Association has asked him to go to the port with other local painters to sit and paint one evening a week.
