"Le serpent qui danse", Baudelaire et moi

This is one of my favourite paintings...

I am surprised and happy in the same time 

that she is not gone yet ;)

I have always been fascinated by snakes...

I don't know why... 

maybe because of their bad reputation...

and bad omen.

I find them very sensual...

C'est l'un de mes tableaux préférés.

Je suis surprise et contente à la fois qu'il ne soit pas encore parti.

J'ai toujours aimé les serpents, je ne sais pas pourquoi...

Peut-être à cause de leur mauvaise réputation...

de leur mauvais augure...

Je les trouve très sensuels.

Drawings...

Lately I've been drawing a lot...

I was asked to illustrate a book of piano and saxo scores...

so I had to get the lead out ;)

Actually the real black lead kind of freezes me...

that's weird... I can't draw with it...

The blue lead saved me ;)

So I have a whole bunch of little drawings like these...

I'll show them to you little by little.

Two of them have been especially drawn for a group show

at Curiosités.

It will start next Monday.

And as we say say here , "the cherry on the cake",

a mini interview here : 

remplir les blancs

Hansel et Gretel & Christmas spirit...

I painted a snowy and blue version of Hansel & Gretel...

I really enjoyed painted it...

There is a little something more, don't you think?

If you are interested you can contact me.

And because there is a a kind of Christmas smell in the air... 

I will add little gifts and surprises in your package 

if your order something in my etsy or bigcartel shop ♥

New shop ...do you like it?

I wanted to try something new so here is my new shop on bigcartel.

I was not too satisfied with the Etsy system...

It's been open for a few months now but I totally forgot to announce it here ;)

Have a look!

A drawing a day,

...the doctor away...?

This is for a secret project...

It seems to me that when I start talking 

about projects I m working on, they go to the dogs...

Fate or Karma?

It's weird beacause I have nothing of  a superstitious girl ;)

Do you like her?

Wip, les chuchoteurs

Autumnal mood

I hope you had great holidays!

Here it was a bit weird, the weather was cold all July...

Anyway autumn is almost there, though in my paintings I'm already in winter ;)

I started to paint on Hansel & Gretel tale.

Here are some glimpses:

I'm thinking about a new turn in my work and would love to paint with oil.

I can't wait to try it! But I guess I'll have to champ at the bit for a little while because first I'll have to buy some oils but before that, I should make a choice about the brand I'm gonna use.

Old Holland or Maimeri classico... ;)

I'm bad at making choice... 

(my acrylic babies)

 

I'll be launching soon my new shop where I'll sell originals and prints.

It will be on BigCartel.

And in a few weeks you will find new postcards and bookmarks in my etsy shop :)

 

 

Have a nice day :)

Absynthe

La fée verte

Le vin sait revêtir le plus sordide bouge
D'un luxe miraculeux,
Et fait surgir plus d'un portique fabuleux
Dans l'or de sa vapeur rouge,
Comme un soleil couchant dans un ciel nébuleux.

L'opium agrandit ce qui n'a pas de bornes,
Allonge l'illimité,
Approfondit le temps, creuse la volupté,
Et de plaisirs noirs et mornes
Remplit l'âme au delà de sa capacité.

Tout cela ne vaut pas le poison qui découle
De tes yeux, de tes yeux verts,
Lacs où mon âme tremble et se voit à l'envers...
Mes songes viennent en foule
Pour se désaltérer à ces gouffres amers.

Tout cela ne vaut pas le terrible prodige
De ta salive qui mord,
Qui plonge dans l'oubli mon âme sans remords,
Et charriant le vertige,
La roule défaillante aux rives de la mort!

Charles Baudelaire
