Solitude

Solitude, watercolor, 2007

Today I'd like to recommend the book: Le Jardin, by Daniele Estebe-Hoursiangou. Daniele is a French writer/journalist. This book is very poetic and has a sense of longuing that seems appropriate for my painting "Solitude".

A quote from "Le Jardin": "Porquoi revenir quand il faut partir? pourrait-on dire, mais Lucie est tetue, decidee, digne de son projet. Femme forte enfin, elle sait qu'ell ne le sera pas longtemps... Elle revient: le village est son refuge." (Why return when it's necessary to leave? one could say, but Lucie is hard-headed, decided, and proud of her project. A strong woman, she knows she won't be for long...so she returns: the town is her refuge.)
