It’s been a while…


Yes, I wasn’t very busy with my site….worked on a painting….on and off, more often off than on…but maybe with Santa Claus just around, maybe I will be back on a more regular basis too…

So that spotty worked painting, still in progress…

Well finally Valérie can enter the café and sit…


Yes I do think this painting is finished, although, for me it is never clear when a painting is finished…sometimes I stopped because I feel it is going nowhere and I cannot improve it, other times, I feel it is good, I like it and I don’t want to spoil it by trying to reach something better, of course there is a shade of grays area when it come to decide if it is finished….

But this one yes is done…so the poor model won’t have to stand in the doorway, she can relax…as for the painting, it will rejoin many others in a corner of my workshop…

What to do on a saturday afternoon?…ride in the park as


sang by the group Chicago? I’m a very bad singer, If this blog was about singing you would be delighted by my lack of posting these days, or weeks….:), so I though maybe I should present another version of Valérie and a viennese cafe, was it on a saturday, If I remember right it wasn’t, was late afternoon, weekdays, can’t remember which day…and of course she wasn’t there, she’s there by photoshop…and me of course….

I guess it is time for the picture, because as you know, this blog is not about me singing, i will spare your earing, and not much about writing either, although I think I a bit better at that than singing, but more about painting and sometimes drawing, even if it is beeing a while that I did some pastel or drawing…so ‘shut up’ and show the …. picture…
