http://demeurespeintes.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Mardi 13 novembre 2012. Strawberries and artichokes and leaks and pears and. Years ago I had an order of a series of paintings representing fruits and vegetables for french kitchen designers based in Southampton(NY), Spirit of France. Most of these paintings were squares of 41x41cm. I remember going to the local open air market and picking up the best looking fruits and vegetables.something I rarely do, I must admit. Some other paintings were bigger, 90x90cm. Some others in an intermediate format, 90x41cm.

Demeures Peintes: octobre 2012
http://demeurespeintes.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Samedi 13 octobre 2012. Tribute to JB.Monge / Drawing exrecises. One of the advantages of being self-taught is that you pick up your teachers as you wish ; you take the ones you prefer . The down-side is that you never really meet them, or rarely. You can only guess what advice they would give you and have to observe their work intensely in order to hear their voice whispering into your ear. Sometimes, when I have time, I copy just for fun and not for work. Monge is a master at facial expressions. For th...

This year, 20 years after (! We removed that canvas and I painted another one.dedicated to Toulouse-Lautrec. I created a view that mixes different paitnings and models of the painter as well as a portrait of him, seated as if he were drinking an "absinthe" at the bar. 2 janvier 2015 à 01:38. 3 janvier 2015 à 23:24.

Demeures Peintes: janvier 2013
http://demeurespeintes.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Jeudi 31 janvier 2013. Just before Christmas I had a nice message from one of my clients in Germany : Kuball and Kempe. They had bought a folding screen a couple of years ago and in April they had ordered one on the "Singerie" theme. I did a few sketches , sent them and after a couple of changes we agreed on the composition. I suppose that some people from Condé Nast visited their gorgeous shop and liked the screen. They decided to have it as a background to the nice Xmas card they did for their clients.

Demeures Peintes: Mountain grisailles
http://demeurespeintes.blogspot.com/2014/12/mountain-grisailles.html
Dimanche 21 décembre 2014. Here are a few more paintings I did quite recently for Au Soli. I just love this "vintage" mountain feel and paintings those subjects truly is a pleasure. We were in Megeve this afternoon and noticed that clothing fashion is quite in the same mood. Old mountain boots are imitated and even the famous "fuseau" by Allard. It seems that these decades ( between 30s and 60s) really captured the essence of what being in the mountains means. Inspired by an illustration of Armand Vallee.
