"Le premier métier d'un tableau est d'être une fête pour l'œil."

"A painting must first and foremost be a feast to the eye."

Eugène Delacroix, Journal

 

 


 

Picasso? ebay? you bet.

 

 

 

 

bold, bolder, boldest

After you throw a tantrum, it is really easier to be calm. Really. No kidding.

I seem to spend a lot of time struggling to express myself in MicroSoft PowerPoint presentations. It's sad, really.

We were invited to a dinner party at the home of some local philanthropists. Their home is lovely and has a lovely art collection. I didn't take my camera. I wouldn't want to expose their things to scrutiny even though I don't mention their names. Lovely, though.

"We have one or two art works," I comment. The woman next to me, rich herself, shakes her head comparing her own house and art. It's awesome really. A burden, though. What must it cost to insure?

The food is lovely. The flowers are lovely. Surely it's Friday night. Nope. It's Tuesday.
