As I previously mentioned, I repainted Charlotte's room in orange. For the final decorative touch, I hung "Funny Points", a soft and warm abstract painting.

After my "digestion" phase, I am entering a period of creation... This is always how I operate, like many artists in fact. So here is a second version of the experimental "New York" that I enjoyed so much!

Here are two new additions to the five previous ones. I will make a dozen so stay tuned for the rest in an upcoming post....

It has now been 1 month since I returned from my trip to NYC. It took me all this time to digest, integrate, and retranslate the emotions and sensations felt. Strangely, I feel a sense of "white", something modern, immaculate...

As promised, I inform you about the progress of my work for "Les 111 des Arts 2011 LYON". Here are 3 new additions!

Friends, the pool, the sun ... It's summer!

My little ones wanted to change the color of their room... Fuchsia for one, orange for the other. It's bright and dynamic, and to balance it out, I kept two grey walls in each room. Here is the result and it looks really nice!

I am happy to have sold this beautiful contemporary painting (150x100 cm) to a very nice couple from Savoie! It is so pleasant and important to meet people who appreciate what we do, and yesterday was one of those times, I thank them for that.

After painting on canvas, I am moving on to painting on the walls. An intense fuchsia for Capucine's bedroom, a bright orange for Charlotte's bedroom and I will mix the two colors for a dense orange in the living room. I promise I will e...

The purchase of the painting (online) was for the birthday of the owner of this house in Alsace. She was kind enough to send me a photo of the painting in her living room... It always brings me great joy to see "my little ones" when...

Last Wednesday of the season, lots of games... Pépita is on Gaya. Charlotte, the eldest, just got back from a full day at the club. Both have a training camp next week!

A small photo to illustrate my first painting workshop with an adult. We worked for 3 good hours to prepare the collage and apply the glue. My client will be back soon to finalize her piece.

I came back home and found Eliott, also known as Bob or Bobby, in quite a comical position!

I am delighted, "JH 2" has found its place in Alsace. I received a confirmation email of the Paypal payment on Sunday at noon, the painting was carefully wrapped by us and shipped by Chronopost on Monday, June 20th. My client received it on Tuesday.

For those who follow me, I had shown you the two paintings submitted for the 2011 selection. Well, it's done, you will be able to see my work in November 2011 at Lyon City Hall. I will talk to you more about it specifically in a few…

It's been a while since I last posted on my blog, I run, I run... It's the end of the school year and sports activities, it's the time for birthdays, galas, or other parties so I am a full-time taxi driver, or almost!

There are some magnificent Art Deco buildings and others more contemporary designed by renowned architects. Here are two examples of exceptional buildings, the Guggenheim Museum and its restaurant The Wright, and the New Museum.

I continue to share my New York experience with you, this time with photos of the MET (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York). In this vast museum (equivalent to the Louvre), the department dedicated to contemporary art was...

There we are, it's the end, we have to go back after 8 fantastic days. My head is full, my eyes are full, my ears are full too... Several days will be necessary for the creative process to get back on track and for me to use everything I...

A bustling, thrilling, amazing city... and exhausting, but that's NY for you!
