Chateaux d'Argeles

Chateaux d'Argeles, watercolor, 31x41cm. (12x16") This painting was inspired by my visit, last year, to the small castle in Argeles-Gazost, in the Haute Pyrenees, France.

I recently read that Selma Lagerloff, has said: "We have to treat old stories very carefully. They are similar to old roses, in which their petals fall off at the lightest touch." Lagerloff, a Swedish novelist, was the first woman to obtain the Nobel Prize in Literature, in 1909.

Hace poco lei que Selma Lagerloff ha dicho;" Tenemos que tratar con cuidado las viejas historias. En ellas, como en las rosas viejas, sus petalos se deshojan al menor contacto." Lagerloff, novelista sueca, fue la primera mujer en obtener el Premio Nobel de Literatura, en 1909.
