A potato based day in Lachapelle. I spent all morning painting the potatoes whilst chatting to Angela. She was showing me a trunk of dolls clothing which had belonged to the two deaf ladies who had lived in her house early in the 1900's. The tiny clothes were all hand stitched and had been clearly treasured, a fact visible by the presence of heavy mending. There was a pair of tiny hand made dolls shoes, hand knitted cotton socks and knickers made from a monogrammed handkerchief. In the evening, when the painting was finished I put the potatoes into a tortilla. A great deal of attention was paid to those tiny tubers.
