You are a jewel here on earth. Do you know that song?
You paint so beautifully. I look every day, and have been grateful for the connection.
I hope when we get to France again (hopefully sooner than later), we'll come visit you in person.
Did you ever know of the painter Nissan Rilov? He lived and worked in La
Rouche, 2 Passage de Dantzig, Paris. We met in the early 60. A long and lasting friendship. His widow still lives there.
Anyway, keep your dreams and send them to all of us.
Your talent is appreciated.
Your California daily viewer.

Dear Julian, the turquoise and rusty hues of the tin box next to the dark indigo plum almost vibrates!
Can't help speculating on what that enigmatic tin once held.... yellowing old love letters, pawn brokers tickets, even a will. I don't like the idea that maybe it was just old nails and screws.
If the plum was left there to decay, you would have a modern vanitas. For now, it's still a melancholy tale of life's transient pleasures.
Anna.
