Red Scarf

Looks a bit too winterly for this time of year but this is a painting I painted a while ago and never got round to posting earlier on. Apart from that, temperatures in London
aren't really summerly at the moment either.

I noticed this young lady in a café on the Strand, who had probably just come from work. She looked so lonely and I felt a bit sad for her, but luckily she had only been daydreaming while waiting for her fiancé, who arrived shortly after.

You might have heared about the ongoing strike here in France. Well, meanwhile it is affecting daily life. Public transport has come to a halt more or less, and petrol is getting scarce. Our younger son, who lives in Barcelona at the moment, tried to find a way to come to France somehow, in order to attend a very important date. It was impossible for him to get either a train ticket, a flight ticket or find someone who could have taken him in the car. Hours in front of the computer, panic on both sides of the Pyrenees and finally the only solution: we had to go and get him!
That is why I didn't have time to write anything yesterday - we had to get on our way. That meant 7 hours through the night to Barcelona, a short coffee break and 7 hours back to France. Luckily we had enough petrol in our car to get (just!)to the Spanish border where we could fill it up again. The things parents do for their children.... In the end we were quite proud of ourselves - didn't sleep at all and made it through the night with driving non stop - not bad for over fifties! Now we are ready to drop.

Café Marly

Unfortunately this is a bad photo of the original painting but somehow I just couldn't avoid the reflections today - I'll try again tomorrow morning and then exchange it. Sorry about that.

Café in Paris

One of my favorite cafés in Paris is the "Café Marly" in the Louvre, from which you can enjoy the view onto the famous Pyramid built by Ieoh Ming Pei, an American Architect. I had always visited it in the daytime and only recently had the opportunity to be there late at night and discover what a wonderful atmosphere it has then, too. Just a few late guests, having their last glass of wine for the day, somewhat sleepy already - it felt a bit like being at someones's house at the end of a party. A very posh house, mind you....
