Meditation97 viewsThis is one of the Californian paintings. This time the inspiration is the same as the FCP but the drawing was originally studied on a piece of paper
The red dot was necessary for the balance of the graph. This painting is not finished but I did not have enough time go to the next step which has been already put on the painting but not photographied.

Artist and painting93 viewsThe candelabre and solar timer is presented on this image. Note the reflection of the Flash light. Therefore a better image is seen on another photo of this year. In that cases there is no reflection but the angle of the picture is far from perpendicularity which is the common way of presenting paintings in virtual galleries. This painting was displayed in my office in hospital Jean Rostand (Ivry) and now in La Salpêtrière (Paris).

As described in the news this new modified version is concentrating on the head of the bird !
In the news there is also a discussion concerning the white graph on the left of the painting !
I will probably transfer later this discussion here or in the "In Depth" Section.

Blessing84 viewsThis is one of the Californian series now finished. However, the photographic numeric process has added a slight pink color on most of the background which fits perfectly well with the painting. Therefore I will have to add physically this slight change on this painting. During my last visit in California in 05/08 I added some more work introducing a different blue color and an additional graph in the background. I am not sure if that was correct. I will discuss that later...

He had a special fast brush stroke making a portrait quite quickly a long time before the Impressionists.
Painting the hands is always the most difficult part of the human body.

Couple in a passionate embrace66 viewsThis is probably the most interesting painting of the Californian series.
There is an intense emotionnal relation between the two figures.
This impression is partially given by the movement of rotation isolating the couple from the rest of the world !

Flower or Aquatic Bird64 viewsAt the beginning this painting started as the calligraphy of a Flower. However, the curves which are closer to the lower part became interestingly inducing other curved lines which finally suggested a bird in water such as a kind of duck. This impression was increased by adding the evocation of a piece of water around the aquatic bird. Therefore, the result is in between these two concepts. You have to choose which one you prefer or you can like both or none of them...

Bird on Brown background64 viewsThe original graph had no significance. Then, looking at it I found that turning the picture upside down gave the impression of a new bird structure. It was necessary to include some additional modifications to follow this idea and finally to add the background with a simple whitish brush strokes.

Oriental Dancer60 viewsIt is a tradition from the middle east to invite a young female dancer at the end of a good meal with friends.
Sometimes the dancer has to keep a sword on her head during the dance.
The point of major interest is to see the extremely suggestive "belly dancing".
This is the final version of the Oriental Dancer.

Husband and wife60 viewsHusband and wife are linked by a legal act. However, after a time which is highly variable from couple to couple the link between the two partner is getting less strong than during the initial period after wedding.
This unsatisfactory situation may lead to the rupture of the link, each one trying to build a new life with a different partner. Sometimes thats work !
At least for a while, but the same situation may occur again; I think that this is rather sad. I am fortunate to have the same wife after several decades...
