Thank you Richard, Marina, Ilaria and Claudemir!

Richard, Thank you! What a compliment! Concerning Harley Brown, well, I have never read his books, but as you told me that, I found his website and I guess we may be inspired by the same kind of people. I like to "listen" to what faces "tell" me, and I can see he paints a lot of native Americans, which for me would be a great source of inspiration. Unfortunately, I live a bit too far from America to have them sit for me

Why did you detect an influence? Would it be because of the color I use in the background? Anyway, I would like to thank you for welcoming me on board! I have not seen works of yours yet. I guess I should check the unveilings section or some other section to have a chance to see them. But I did read posts of yours about pricing artworks, and the information you share is very interesting. Thank you about that too!

Marina, bonjour !

It is nice to "meet" another French artist here. I have never lived in America. I wish I could go someday. Actually I have been thinking of living in Canada for one or two years, a few years ago. I wanted to do herbalist studies there, but right now, I am living in a place I am discovering each day here in the Tarn, and it is also very exciting. It is almost like going abroad. People in the same country can have so different cultures from their compatriots!

Your experience must be very interesting. I don't know Canada that much. Is Montreal very different from French cities?

Hi Ilaria, yes the Toulouse-Lautrec museum is inspiring. I felt exactly the same way as you did when I saw his early works, actually. He was so talented! I only knew his posters before going to the museum, and it was a delightful surprise to discover those drawings and paintings. If you would like to come and visit the museum again, please let me know!

Claudemir, I appreciate your comment and your message. I will try to send more works in this section or in the unveilings section - I don't know which section would be more suitable - as soon as I can.
