I think the guy on the top left looks like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever.

I love these pub signs.  Thing is it doesn't matter what was written on it.  I can decide.

Red Flag

When you see a red flag flash behind your eyes then it's time to stop and listen to yourself.  It's happened to me a few times and those were life changing moments.

This view is on the highway coming in from Long Island.  It reminds me of certain paintings I did of Tuscany, long long ago

I've embarked on a major production of little paintings for a gallery.  The technique is fast with sharpie pens and palette knife.  These are more about gesture.  Oil sketches.

It is more fun than I imagined.  What is 

Hopefully I can post one a day...  so stay tuned

A Beautiful Dedication to Me from Someone Worth Following

A week ago I had visitors in my atelier in Ivry.  What a lovely couple.

They fell in love with a painting and took it home.

Caroline posted on her blog the adventure she lived and I almost cried when I read her post. La Belle Americaine on Watzis Her blog is a great mix of vintage

She calls me "formidable and adorable and profondément touchante. "

I am touched by her kind words and really, like my head is ready to explode from her admiration.

Thanks Caroline and Jean-Babtiste!!!

A french collection

Here is a photo of one of my paintings in it's new home somewhere in France.  It looks so small but the house is gigantic.  The painting is big too. It looks like a photo almost.  
It's such a pleasure that my painting has a happy home.  Thanks!
