I am preparing for my painting exhibition in Castellar from the 7th of September to the 5th October. If anyone is around here at these dates, please do not hesitate to visit. I will be there every afternoon except Mondays. I will be happy to meet you. Due to this, I won't have the time to put up photos, or to visit! So sorry about that. Let me take advantage to THANK you all for your visits and lovely comments which I really appreciate!

This is my latest pastel. It wasn't easy with the perspective and a lot of work. As usual, your critics are very welcome!

I didn't have time to paint, so did this drawing of Mahé. He looks a bit older than he is, but I like the expresion in his face! Please leave your critics.

This is a pastel and hence very difficult technically to do! I spent hours on it, to give the world the right impression of who I am! I look a lot younger of course, as I have deleted the wrinkles. One can do that in art. One can't in a photograph! I hope you like it. As usual, your critics are very welcome!

This is my latest still life. I want people to be aware of healthy eating and hence did this painting. These are all the ingredients that go into the dish called Ratatouille. I think the name is a funny one! As usual I welcome your comments and critics!

I'm sorry if I annoy anyone with the new water mark I put on my pics, but I try to be very discrete about it. As I put up loads on the web, I feel I have to protect them.

I had the pleasure of visiting this private garden which is a real jewel. I went too early to get good photos, but I spent two hours of magic. One has to go there to feel this magic! I hope I can give a little bit of this magic to you through these photos.

I went out for sunrise, but there were so many clouds, that the sun never came out! I was disappointed, but I got lots of atmospheric pics instead which I love and makes a change!Hope you like them too!

You can imagine why I had this idea. I've spent weeks taking photos of anemone and looking at the center of them. I had to express the beauty of these flowers! In any case, it is completely different to what I have done before. Hope you like it!

This is my first still life except for those I did in school. I put in the I Phone to show our times! What do you think?

This is my latest painting.Hope you like it! I welcome all your critics, as this is important to me. Have a nice Easter!

I just keep dreaming of the place where I was so happy and so had to paint this one. Hope you like it!
