Landscape with Sea
A view eastwards from our friends' garden in Corsica, with the Mediterranean Sea in the background.
No, the little dots aren't moskitos ... it's just that towards the horizon, the sky was getting a bit darker (maybe I haven't chosen the best solution to show that).

This drawing shows the photograph Petra Klusmeyer has taken of the drawing I made of the photograph taken by Christian Öhlerich of my drawing Crossroad with Clock.
Knowing that I wouldn't have much more spare time than my noon break at work, I took the framed picture with me this morning, and in my break placed it on a rock nearby my office to do the drawing.

I found an arm today
I found this arm on a parking lot today and picked it up – this might be something for Duane Keiser's new blog, maybe I'm going to send it to him.

From left to right: Ed Lisieski, Craig Stephens, Chuck Law, Christian Öhlerich, Elaine Bond.
The list is growing slowly ... but steadily.

I found an "a" today
Here is landscape #8.
When I left this place to return to my job, I found a real little "a" on the way.
Before I picked it up to take it home, I took a picture of it in its natural place.
This is really funny because last year I found a "z" on the street.
Extrapolations might show that I can expect finding the complete alphabet by the age of 63.

Sunday Night
This is not a drawing obviously.
Oh by the way, I've cut the upper left corner of this house, but you can see it in the lower right corner of the drawing January Evening Sky...

Awaiting the Rain
This is somewhere along the D604 in Sophia. No no, I wasn't "waiting" for rain, but this time it was the rain who forced me to stop the drawing, so... I take the occasion to continue the "Awaiting" titles...Pencil and ball pen, ca. 15 x 21 cm / 6 x 8¼ in.

Landscape #6
Aah oui, encore un paysage... je ne m'en lasse pas.No, I'm not tired of drawing landscapes.
What is fascinating about drawing mountains in particular is that when you start, you feel that long distance between yourself and the horizon... but minute for minute you are getting closer and closer to it, and at the end you almost think you can put your hand on that crest, and you can touch those clouds, they almost look like solid sculptures.
Or a sofa, why not.

Una Novia Errante
La Finacée errante - A Wandering Bride
That's the title of the movie we watched in Cannes this morning, and the drawing above, which shows the school of my children, has got nothing to do with it at all - except that when I made the drawing (waiting in front of the school to pick up my children), the movie continued to play in my head, and I feel that something of the story has gone into it.
I'm quite sure that if I look at the drawing in ten years again, I will recall this movie rather than the school building.

Tarik + Pascal Mono
Il y a quelques jours, l'ex-prof de piano de Zoï, que Joëlle a rencontré dans la rue, a parlé d'un spectacle dans la Citadelle de Villefranche-sur-Mer, où il allait jouer avec quelques autres personnes.
Le spectacle avait lieu aujourd'hui, et on y est allé sans savoir ce qui allait nous attendre.
On était agréablement surpris: En fait, l'ex-prof de piano de Zoï jouait le keyboard dans le groupe de Tarik (à gauche), dont on avait déjà entendu parler à la radio, et c'était magnifique.
Plus tard dans la soirée il y avait Pascal Mono (à droite), qu'on ne connaissait pas, mais apparemment tout le monde dans la salle le connaissait. Il était très bien aussi.
Le tout était une "Opération pour les enfants du Soudan", tous les participant étaient des bénévols.

Villefranche-sur-Mer #2
It's not that I didn't want to draw the horizon line or any other details of the sea or the sky - it's just that I didn't have enough tranquility to do so (a day on the beach with family - I stopped when my 3-year-old son just decided to jump up from the towel to return into the water alone again...).
But looking at it now, I think I should have stopped at that very moment anyway: It seems to be one of those drawings where Wolfgang Schmitz would have said that in a certain moment, you have to take away the pen from the drawer – to avoid that he worsens his drawing. "Stop – don't touch it any more!"
