Cholamandal



We are settling into life in the artists village, and have met a few of the artists who live in houses surrounding the gallery complex. Paint was delivered from Chennai on our first afternoon, and Charlie is in his element! The studio/guesthouse is simple, but plenty of space. We can buy meals from the canteen which is a tiny hut within the grounds, but also serving the locals and the dual carriageway from Chennai! It's a bit of a hit and miss affair...first night no gas, this morning no milk, but to eat breakfast in a sculpture garden has to be a first! The grounds are lush, and there is a pathway down to the beach.
