Road Trip – Another Two Weeks in Paradise

Road Trip – Another Two Weeks in Paradise

There are several places I’ve been through the years that I can’t get out of my system. Castine, ME, Amsterdam, NL, Bruges, BE, and Key West, FL. I was lucky to be in the Keys in the early 80s, a little late to the party, Michael came many times in the 70s, I wish I […]

Little Talk

Little Talk

To end our show at the Arts Council Carol and I did a little talk. In this blog post I’m including some tidbits that I did not share during the talk, like the part about what we did when we lived in Aspen. And I’m only posting my part of the talk! Some of this […]

Last Road Trips of 2022

Last Road Trips of 2022

I thought I was done traveling for the year – not so! A quick trip to Myrtle Beach was followed by a trip to see the North Carolina Chinese Lantern Festival! Then I got a call from a friend asking me if I wanted to go see the Sergeant show at the National Gallery in […]

Interview in New Bern Magazine with Jan Francoeur

New Bern Magazine By Jonathan Burger, Craven Arts Council & Gallery, Inc. Where are you from and how did you end up in New Bern? I’m originally from Michigan, my husband and I left there in 1982 and spent six years in Aspen, Colorado. From there we traveled in an RV and spent the next […]

Francoeur and Tokarski 30 Years Later

Francoeur and Tokarski 30 Years Later

It’s been a great painting year for me. In the fall of 2021 I agreed to have a show at the Bank of the Arts with Carol Tokarski, former director of the Craven Arts Council. Thirty years ago we had a show together there so this is our 30 year anniversary show. Carol and I […]

I got to spend a few days in Boston with friends. Our accomodations were in a condo in the Navy Yard in Charlestown, right across the river from Downtown Boston. Known also as the Boston Naval Shipyard and the Boston Navy Yard, the Charlestown Navy Yard opened in 1800 as one of the first navy yards of […]

Road Trip – Mid-Coast Maine

Road Trip – Mid-Coast Maine

I’ve been to Maine 5 times but never seem to have enough time, so this year my friend Pam went with me for 2 weeks. And there still wasn’t enough time! Our adventure started even before we got there. We let Siri change our route, mistake, however we did end up in Morristown, NJ. where […]

Road Trip – Porto To Barcelona To the Basque Region of Northern Spain – Part 2

Road Trip – Porto To Barcelona To the Basque Region of Northern Spain – Part 2

Continued from Part 1! Barcelona Barcelona did not disappoint in any way. It’s a much more intimate city than Madrid and very walkable. We put on over 10 miles in one day! Of course the highlight was the work of Gaudi. The Sagrada Familia facade that you currently enter through is almost too much to […]

Road Trip – Porto To Barcelona To the Basque Country – Part 1

Road Trip – Porto To Barcelona To the Basque Country – Part 1

A friend and I went on an 18 day whirlwind land tour on the Ibeaian Peninsula. We flew into Lisbon, then to Porto, drove to Lisbon, Óbidos, Evora, Seville, Granada, high speed train to Madrid, then Barcelona, our final stop was the Basque Country. It was a whirlwind trip but really gave us a taste […]
