LES VEDETTES DE LA NONETTE, acrylic on canvas, 81x100 cm.

La Nonette is a river in the area of Senlis and Chantilly, north of Paris. This painting and 23 others, are hanging at the Bibliothèque Municipal d'Argeles-Gazost, France. The solo show has started on October 1st, and tomorrow Friday, at 18:00 hs (6:00pm) is the Vernissage (opening reception) at the Bibliothèque. YOU ARE ALL INVITED!!!

I've just finished reading: LA LISTE DE MES ENVIES (The list of my desires) by Grégoire Delacourt. The story of a haberdashery owner, who comes into fortune, but keeps it to herself...for a while. She questions the benefits and problems of being able to offer oneself everything one can desire. It is a beautiful story, which invites us to revisit our own list of wishes and desires. I strongly recommend it.

This painting is totally autobiographic and just for fun. My friend Mireille and I had bought these hats in Paris, and decided to go for a picnic near this beautiful lazy river: "La Nonette", in Chantilly, about 30 km. north of Paris. We had a lot of fun trying to place the camera so that we could get our picture taken. Finally we did. Last week, I decided to paint our fun picnic experience, and...voila! "Les Vedettes de la Nonette".

Esta pintura es totalmente autobiografica y solo por divertirme. Mi amiga Mireille y yo habiamos comprado estos sombreros en Paris y decidimos hacer un picnic en este hermoso y lento rio: "La Nonette", en Chantilly, unos 30 km. al norte de Paris. Nos divertimos mucho tratando de acomodar la camara para sacarnos una foto. Finalmente lo logramos. La semana pasada decidi pintar nuestra divertida experiencia del picnic, y...voila! "Las Vedettes de la Nonette".
