Meet the artist of “Joie de Vivre” Thursdays from 10-1:30 at The Island Crêperie. Marguerite Jill Dye’s paintings of France adorn the walls of this popular eatery. She demonstrates her plein air techniques in ink and watercolor 10-noon every Thursday.

The artist has painted in France for decades and follows in the footsteps of her favorite artists—climbing the same paths up Mont Ste-Victoire to paint views Paul Cézanne also captured; standing by Collioure’s crashing sea in the Tramontana wind like Matisse and Derain; painting Giverny, the home of Monet. Dine with a view of France’s treasured sites at The Island Crêperie, 127 Bridge St. in the heart of Bradenton Beach.
Open Wed.-Mon. 8:30-1:
