- Sunday 10th : Public apology for defacing a painting. I’m not sure what I was thinking and I feel really really awful for it. For those of you I’ve offended. I’m sorry. Most of all, I’m sorry that I thought some touches to suit my preferences would be justified. Still I can’t stop feeling that the thick black line and black blobs without definition was put on after the artist painting was complete…perhaps some mischievous child? 🤣
Bonjour everyone and happy weekend! We hope that you are all well.

My sincerest apologies goes out to you all! I’m so sorry that I’ve defaced a painting in order to suit me. I feel absolutely terrible that I thought it was okay to improve on it. Learning from this past experience tremendously…😞😞😞😞 Please forgive me…I’m forgiving myself.
On the painting, the black bits look to me like very dark green ivy leaves/vine in the flower arrangement.
Jenny..don't let other people make you feel bad about the painting . Someone (the painter) sold it, you bought it, it belongs to you and you can correct it! It looks better! Also I watched your video where you talked about you and Jason's meeting and your anxiety. I think you are a very fine person with a lot of class and beauty. NO WORRIES AND YOU HAVE EXCELLENT TASTE!♥️♥️♥️♥️😘
My heart is warm Connie. 💕💕💕💕 Thank you for your wonderfully kind message.
I agree with Connie - Jeni. Please don't be discouraged ❤❤
I think the painting looks SOO 😊 much better. Well done. The black bits were certainly "off".
Very kind of you to share that Liddy. I still feel awful about it. 😞
The village was beautiful! Thank you for taking us along with you! I was hoping to see what treasures you purchased. Did you only get the painting?
I really need to work on that some. When we are in the middle of purchasing my phone gets tucked away. 🤣 We bought the mini portrait on fabric, the gorgeous silver bowl display, silver Christofle ladle and the white bisque statue of Psyche.
I can't blame you for wanting to "fix" the painting. I agree that the black didn't fit. You should start painting your own art! It would be nice to have some of your own hanging!😊😊
Thank you Susan. I would like to start painting again…maybe in one of the next videos I’ll share some of the painting I’ve done.
"leaves falling" - looks like ivy to me
Waking up to a brocante shopping outing in a delightful french village. Wonderful. I experienced this on my last vacation to visit family in south Germany. We travelled to a few small villages in the Elsass region, and luckily one had a brocante event. 🤗Greetings from Seattle 🍃 Sabine.
Wonderful! Aren’t they an enjoyable experience Sabine? Did you bring back a little treasure to Seattle? I know it’s not for everyone but I really enjoy the atmosphere and obviously looking/collecting vintage/antiques items.
I did buy a rather large and heavy onyx and marble centerpiece, took up my whole carry on, but was so worth it.
Definitely the painting looks better....Brava!❤
Thank you! 😊
Just started watching your channel. Love your home and what you have done. I was watching an old vlog where you were cleaning outside and wondering if you found out that if you cut the ivy at the bottom (roots) it will die off at the top and easier to remove. Best wishes from Kansas City, USA!♥️♥️♥️♥️😘
Bonjour Connie and thank you. 💕
I think those were dark leaves.
I really enjoy your videos
We really appreciate that! Thank you. 🫶🫶 Remind us, where are you writing from?
Hi, I live in England on the south coast@@Frenchcountryfriends
J adore vos vidéos, la restauration de votre propriete, la découverte de votre méconnue mais magnifique région, des vos ballades brocante et de vos achats. Merci pour votre sensibilité et votre approche dans vos vidéos.
Une petite remarque cependant, j aime bcp la peinture et vos repeints sont bcp trop importants et marquants sur cette œuvre, on nettoie et éventuellement qq retouches très très minimes et surtout en cherchant le respect de l œuvre premiere.
On attend avec impatience vos autres vidéos.
Bonjour, merci pour votre message aimable et délicat. The painting doit être respecté absolument et reste tel qu'il a été montré en dernier lieu. Passez vous une très belle journée. 🫶
C est vrai que peut être on doit être plus léger avec l art en France,vous êtes sûrement dans le vrai. ( votre tableau est très beau) Belle journée à vous aussi
A stunning village and church which does look like a chateau! The painting is lovely but the frame distracts from it. I think the frame needs to be a very simple wooden or gold frame. Always enjoy your videos! As for restoring the painting, I am not an artist but if you help by repairing damage or missing pieces of paint, what is the harm? It's not a Van Gogh but even some of the great masters need re=touches at times. Follow you heart and follow your eye.......and your eyes and heart are quite tender! Hope that Justin does not have any more close calls with the tree trimming. Cheers!
BTW...before you put your boots on you should check them for spiders!!♥️♥️♥️♥️😘
OMG Jenny the news is full of people discovering a long lost Van Gogh or something at a brocante 😬 to be fair it does look better, let’s hope it wasn’t Monnets study of “fleurs tres sage” you’ll get sent to the Bastille! Lol
🤣 I should be taken out back and beaten for defacing another persons art. I can’t believe I did it also David! My first! Let’s hope that Andre Burie isn’t hating me from wherever he is. I couldn’t find anything on him via web but I’ll keep looking.
Bonsoir, très joli village en effet et très belle brocante, dommage que l'on ne voit pas les prix de vente ! Pour le tableau, dommage que vous n'ayez pas fait de recherches auparavant pour vérifier s'il ne s'agissait pas de la volonté de l'artiste, on ne voit pas bien la signature A.Curie ? Arlette Parvine Curie peut être ? Peu de peinture de sa part mais beaucoup de sculptures et plutôt contemporaines. Vous retouchez aussi les tableaux mis en vente sur Etsy ? Merci du partage pour le village et la brocante
Bonjour, j'apprécie votre intérêt, les artistes s'appellent Andre Burie et étant donné que ce tableau a plus de 150 ans. Peu d’informations peuvent être trouvées. Je vous assure, je n'ai modifié que les blobs noirs et ça paraît bien mieux. Ces Blobs noir ne pouvaient pas être intentionnelles. I’ll share the painting again in another video.
Omg I can’t believe you were repainting someone else’s art 😂 that’s not restoring!
🫶 I can’t believe it either. I would love your opinion, what do you think the long black line and round black areas represented? I was/am having a hard time deciphering the artists intention. 😞
They conveyed their impression and feelings of a flower arrangement. I don’t think certain (black) areas represent anything specific, I do think they provided some contrast that was needed.
Sorry but as an artist myself I find changing the painting and all the negative comments towards the artists work to be inappropriate. I think maybe you might have used that painting as inspiration to paint one of your own.
Yes, I felt terrible about it Judith. Too be fair I don’t feel I was negative about it, I expressed that I didn’t understand some things on this beautiful painting. Anyways it’s was mistake attempt on my part and I’m learning from it. Moving forward now.
I don't think you should feel terrible. It is your painting to do with as you please and I do think it looks better. Everyone has their opinion and that is ok. BTW, I know you are not into jewelry but you might try a few pieces for your shop. A lot less expensive to ship and many in America may love something from a French brocante
I have been considering it but I have a really strong ethos, I only buy what I love bc if it doesn’t sell, I need to be happy to own it and use it myself. Jewelry is a bit difficult for me but we’ll see! Always open to evolving!
@@Frenchcountryfriends That makes total sense. You buy such great things. I don't know how you let go of anything. You probably say I want it to sell this piece but I hope it doesn't because I love it so much. I would :)
You shouldn’t call it a restoration..to be fair🌷 Maybe you could start painting ??😊
I definitely misused the word. I know. Which is why I didn’t use it in the title. Would love to know if you think I improved the painting. That would be helpful.
@@Frenchcountryfriends I believe you have great potential in creating your own pieces of art. You have a good eye. Pick up up some canvas’s 😊👍
What is the location of your items for sale?
Hello, I’ve just updated our profile. You can find out shop at frenchcountryfriends.etsy.com
It seems every CZcams channel in France is about Brocantes. What new experiences can you bring us out of the norm?
it’s part of our business, a way of feeling more independent and earning some income while living in a rural area. It is NOT easy earning a living here. So I thought by sharing our finds it will help promote/market our shop. 🫶
In a previous video I shared some beautiful footage of the mountains so more of that would be a great idea! Hiking is amazing here…great suggestion Jae! 🫶
How do you know the painting was a mistake painting and the artist would be happy with your modifications? Did you talk with him or her? You certainly have a high opinion of yourself. Very arrogant of you!
I appreciate the comment, really. It was a struggle for me to modify a bit of it. A bit of DIY despite it being art work. The painting is over hundred years old so no, unfortunately I can’t have that kind of discussion. I only modified the black splotches. I hope you learn to practice kindness when writing to people. Whatever it is that you are feeling in life, I send you light and love and hope that your heart grows…❤️❤️❤️❤️
