This is a water color that I made in a mountain village in notrthean Italy in 1974. Perhaps more exotique than the little village became. |
Jean Michel Faudemer, the director of the galerie 3F on the rue des Trois Fréres gave me a call a couple of weeks ago and asked me if I'd like to fill in a spot he had open in April. I've already shown at his lovely gallery three times and each time had a lot of fun but haven't shown anywhere in three years having finding my blog and facebook far less stressful to reveal my images and I don't have to face the crowd.
Jean Michel helped me enormously at the past openings. If someone said they liked a work, I'd immediately call him over and he would talk-it-up. When I open my mouth, I usually confuse the person so badly that his first impression becomes so tangled, the admirer walks away.
I have lots of new work and thought that I could handle the framing so gladly agreed thinking it might wipe out the February blues in Paris.
He said that he woulds stop by the next day. We chose a few works, but then he became very curious about this large wooden trunk I had pushed aside. It's where I have kept my works on paper safe and dry for many years.
I showed him a few works and he kept saying. I want to see more. "Encore Mary.Encore" There are probably over a hundred oeuvres dating back to 1974 some not signed some not dated.
So we agreed to show recent works along a progression of earlier works. Une petite retrspective.
I hope it works'.
