Tucked away in the rolling hills of Texas, Rosewood Farm and Fragrance transforms into a charming marché where the air hums with the soft melody of an accordion and the scent of fresh baguettes mingles with delicate French perfumes. La Petite French Market is more than a gathering of artisans and farmers—it is an experience, a portal to the romance of Parisian street life, where every detail is curated to transport visitors to another world. A mime performs silent poetry among the market stalls, plein air painters capture the golden light as it filters through oak trees, and live dancers twirl in rhythm to the lilting notes of French chansons

This summer, world-traveling artist Thom Ricks invites painters of all levels to join him for an immersive on-location sketching and painting workshop at La Roane Retreat Center in Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val, France, from June 4–11.
