Self-portrait
- 8 days ago - 10 comments

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!
My latest painting "La Ratatouille"
- May 2, 2013

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!
water mark!
- April 30, 2013 - 4 comments

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.
Drawing in coal - Mahé
- April 28, 2013

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.
Garden Clos de Péyronnet
- April 23, 2013

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.
No sunrise, but lovely pics instead!
- April 12, 2013 - 9 comments

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!
New painting in Pastel. The Center
- April 9, 2013 - 2 comments

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!

Painting in pastel - Blue reflections.

This is my latest painting of dusk in Menton. I loved to bring out the various shades of blue and pink in this painting. I enjoyed painting it, and I hope you like it too!
Fete du Citron!
- March 9, 2013

I took these pics with my I-phone, as that's all I had! I wanted to go back, but got ill and the weather was bad. So I put them up anyway,to give you an idea as to how it is! Hope you like them!
I'm back, as I feel a lot better now!

It was a terrible cold and I felt lousy, but now it's all behind me. I'm happy to get back to my routine.
I need a break!
- March 2, 2013 - 6 comments

I won't be very active on the site for a few days as I need a break. I'm just doing too much recently and am not feeling too good at present. Will come back as soon as I feel better.
It's carnival time!

These are just a few of my photos from the carnival of Nice. I haven't been to the lemon festival in Menton yet, but maybe in the weekend. Hope you enjoy them!
Reflections in the sea! painting in pastel.
- February 18, 2013

This was not an easy one to do. I found it very difficult to find the right colours to make it work. Doing a sunrise needs a lot of contrast and nerves to put the dark colours on! I always wanted to do a sunset or a sunrise (maybe because I go so often to take pics!) as it is a big challenge. I like to have challenges when I choose my subjects. I hope you will give me your feedback, especially if it is negetive, as that is how I learn!
