Description Finally, I was able to pick up the brushes again thanks to the kindness of a great painter. I told him, indeed, of my project to inspire me with one of his paintings.
This canvas was reproduced on his business card (noted above: "invitation" hence the title of this work).
I showed him the beginning of this project, explained the Deviantart website,

I showed him 'A cake for You' from
to give him a glimpse of the links between us, dear friends.

Even before all these explanations, he gave me a wave of his hand, a smile and a roll of his eyes, reassured me and said:

"you can! Art students goes in museums with the permission of the curator to study the ancient masters, and as long as you do not copy me ... ". (How can i copy this man : he have more than fourty years of painting behind him !)

BUT...he could have got angry, refused this approach, but no.
He is a great painter.
A master of light,
I do not get tired of stopping in front of his window to look at his paintings.
Go see his gallery on FaceBook,

his name is Jean-Paul Ruello.

His Facebook: www.facebook.com/jeanpaulruell…

Thank you to him and all, and all for making me take the brushes! This work is dedicated to you. I kiss you greatly. See you soon. Hugs.


... and all others...


(In French)
Enfin, j'ai pu reprendre les pinceaux grâce à la gentillesse d'un grand peintre. Je lui ai fait part, en effet, de mon projet de m'inspirer d'une de ses toiles. Cette toile était reproduite sur sa carte de visite (avec noté dessus : "invitation" d'où le titre de cette oeuvre). Je lui ai montré le début de ce projet, expliqué le site Deviantart, je lui ai montré 'A cake for You' de ImpMon282 pour lui donner un aperçu des liens entre nous, chers amis. Avant même toutes ces explications, il m'a, d'un geste de la main, d'un sourire et d'un roulement d'yeux, rassuré et m'a dit "vous pouvez ! Les étudiants en beaux-arts font la même chose dans des musées avec l'autorisation du conservateur, et tant que l'on ne me copie pas...". Il aurait pu se mettre en colère, refuser ma démarche, mais non. C'est un grand peintre. Un maître de la lumière, je ne me lasse pas de m'arrêter devant sa vitrine pour regarder ses toiles. Allez voir sa galerie sur FaceBook, il s'appelle Jean-Paul Ruello.

Merci à lui et à tous, et toutes de m'avoir fait reprendre les pinceaux ! Cette oeuvre vous est dédiée. Je vous embrasse bien fort. A bientôt.

You are very welcome, my dear friend! Well, I should say that I have seen his work... I never really knew the man...


But yes indeed - the world is a village! And thank you for sending him my regards!

Yes, i talked about you. But he said to me that he's fed up of Facebook.

He wants, later, owning his proper professional site where his customers
and visitors will be able to talk to him without being flooded, without ads
and trolls, and thieves (!).

I gave him chocolates !
I'll show him this final version and 'Koan' next weekend !
Thank you for your answer my dear Chas !

Ah, I see... well, that makes two of us. The only reason I have an FB account is exclusively to keep up with my relatives who only use FB...


Needless to say, I don't use it very often... FB makes me "cringe"...


And I can appreciate his feelings completely. Giving him chocolates sounds like a great idea!


Take care, my dear friend  ~  be seeing you!

Try this, even with coloured pencils, on a little sheet of paper...

it's magic.

I've already tried but with the pencil ...
 And yes, it is very good and poetic, you make life and stories in a drawing ...

You're welcome!
