Or it can be the calm I felt whilst watching the falling leaves of a gingko biloba😊

What is the effect you want your art to have on the viewer ?
I like it when I am able to recreate an image that has provoked in me a particular emotion :
It can be the awe of coming in contact with jellyfish whilst swimming in the baltic and finding them totally harmless and airily beautiful.

Saturday in Cadaques🤩

They ban books in Canada?!!🇨🇦 WTF?!

🫣

Anything by Anais Nin or marianne Lasky!!! Phenomenal women- failing that : Giovanni’s room by James Baldwin is just amazing and beautifully written

You will! Best read ever 🤩

Sadly that is not true. There’s no correlation between IQ and empathy. None throughout history…

Banned by who?!!! Who bans books nowadays?!!!

Never go Coelho anyway! But yes to Machado 😇

Fight hatred with humour! Love it 😉

Looks like a perfectly good future to me 🤷

I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms…

The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly…

One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

Throwback to a poetry reading with Segolene Fair at the harp. ✨✨✨

What I am reading today: LIGHT by eva Figes ( 1983-reprinted 2024 by Pallasathene) A memoir about light, following the footsteps of Monet around his Giverny garden. A testimony about how art can beat back the shadows, albeit the worst shadows of the FIRST WORLD WAR.

Also the beautiful and devastating documentary INTERCEPTED on ARTE

If you were the richest man/woman in the world, would you a/ use your wealth to make a positive mark in the world and help it become a better place for all? Or b/ use your wealth to disrupt, destroy and create more chaos and conflict?! I know, it’s a tough one 😝🤣🤦🏻‍♀️
