Puech Haut‘s collection of painted barrels (some of which are a tiny bit more sophisticated than my painted barrels ;D ) has sent a small piece of the collection to the French Pavillion in Shanghai.

I guess I’m supposed to wax poetic about the awesome artisitic implications of painting barrels.  Or the marketing benefits.  Honestly, I just like painting on wood.  And sometimes, you have barrels to spare.  So a big high five to Gérard Bru for getting artists to paint some barrels and then shipping them around the world to show everybody how the Languedoc rolls.
