A few years ago, I made the leap from the sunny South of France to vibrant London, little did I know I'd quickly fall in love with this dynamic city! London has bestowed upon me countless opportunities to immerse myself in its unique British lifestyle. Join me on this blog as we delve into the heart of London, offering insights and experiences for those eager to become fluent in (all things) London!

Delacroix has always been a great painter to me. This French romantic artist was fond of bright colours and energetic brushstrokes.

Delacroix marked a break with the past techniques and styles.
