Thank you everyone! Now I am trying to visualize the other pages, one down, 19 to go!
One Fairy Out of the Closet
It is now official, my picture book project is out of the procrastination closet and starting to take form. This week I finished illustration number one, a fairy, because let's face it, we need as many good fairies as we can get in this scary world. You can see her on these photos, slowly appear...

Thank you Ayisha. I am looking forward to your comments.
Beauty and Madness in Rural America: The Art of Andrea Kowch
One of the characteristics of Magic Realism in art is that "it has an unsettling quality, remarkable details, sharp focus and some mystery or a secret seems to be hidden within the subject matter". This seems to describe perfectly the amazing work of Michigan artist and self-described crow lover...
Thanks for your comments :) Kara, I totally agree with you about that !

Thank you all for your comments.
Alicia, I paint in acrylic, it's my favorite medium, it allows me to do almost anything I want, in particular good skin color by layering bright colors under the skin tone :)
Flower Sisters Step by Step
Yesterday I finished painting a fairly large piece (36"x48") which I called Flower Sisters. Most of the time I have one main idea when I begin a painting and everything else appears around it only because "it feels right to me". I think an artist should leave room for the art to become what it...
Okay then, I agree with you Jesse. We will just tell the truth about why we paint what we paint. Anyway I suck at lying and embarrass myself even more so what's the point?
The Artist Statement. We are kind of faking it.
"If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint" -Edward Hopper " An artist cannot talk about his art more than a plant can discuss horticulture" -Jean Cocteau Have you ever been to an art exhibit and seen a mysterious, beautiful and clever piece of art? Wanting to know more ab...

Yes, she has an amazing and serious little face, it is hard to resist. I have to say that she seems to cooperate really well with her talented dad. I really doubt my kids would have been that patient!
Extreme Sweetness: the photography of Bill Gekas
As I was speed-scrolling down my Facebook page the other morning my eye got caught on the purest and most beautiful little girl's face. After a few clicks I was mesmerized by so much cuteness. I had just discovered the work of Melbourne photographer Bill Gekas. Gekas takes photos of his daughte...
Avec plaisir Renee!
Art, Zen and Tea
My intention for today was to take a trip to old Hollywood to discover the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery. I had heard the current exhibit, “Five Elements, One World” representing mainly Japanese artists, was a sight to see. I made it there and enjoyed the art but what really impressed me w...

Hello Ann. So now you know how this painting was created. I am in the middle of another one and I am taking photos! I am so glad you are inspired by this painting!
With a Little Help From My Friends
I started this new piece last week on a whim. I had been missing painting on a large canvas and I was each day working on many things having to do with the business of art but never on art itself. And you and I know that all work and no painting (or writing, dancing, singing, filmmaking etc) ma...
Daureen!! So glad to "see" you here!! I am so happy you read this interview. Yes they do have a nice collection and you can see the heart they put into picking each pieces, which is how art should be chosen. The first thing I do when I get to their house is to sneak around to see what's new!
In The Mind of an Art Collector
Damien Hirst, British citizen and richest living artist submerged his first real 14ft tiger shark in a tank of formaldehyde in 1991. It sold in 2004 to art collector and hedge fund king Steven A.Cohen for $8 million. The Fortune 500 list is full of art collectors. They are cosmetic heirs, in...
No Lali, Deborah was not the model for Snow Angel but I can see how you might think so, they do look alike. She does own the original as you can see. I had painted a portait of her a long time ago that is not shown on these photos.

It is true Kara, Deborah's house is very entertaining, they also like to switch the art around whenever they bring a new piece.

Thank you Deborah, it is very nice of you to say. Myself I am partial to Basquiat ;)

Yes Brennen, here is the situation: we have to make wonderful art AND be adorable at the same time to get a chance to sell. Jeeez.
I just looked you up, you make beautiful landscapes...

Hi CJY, I looked up Eric Stotik, pretty intense and dark work! thanks for mentioning him. It's good to know I am not the only one who likes to go and "visit" her art after it was sold. I feel less weird :)

Jess, thanks for tweeting it. I am happy to see that all 3 of you artists can relate to the Muse theory. It takes a lot off our shoulders, if we mess up we can always say: the Muse made me do it!
The Muse Theory
"Inspiration exists but it has to find you working." Pablo Picasso. Since the day I was born and as I grew up in my little French corner of the world I have been asked to suspend my rational thinking and believe in a number of irrational concepts: Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fai...
