I could hardly see this young woman having lunch at the café of the Whitechapel Gallery, silhouetted against the light, but I loved her hair-do and the soft colours around her!

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.

First of all I would like to send a BIG "thank you" to Myra who is a very creative (and fast working) artist and film maker! After having just discovered my work, she surprised me with a wonderful little film about Cezanne, full of humour, in which she also featured a few of my paintings!!!! Have a look on Myra's blog Last cup of coffee and enjoy!
I am very touched and feel honoured by so much attention! Thank you, very, very much, Myra, for this lovely gift! And please excuse me for not having mentioned this yesterday already, but we were invited for dinner and I simply didn't make it.

Another attempt at a portrait of Melodie, the young Dutch woman. I prefer the brushwork here, it seems more lively to me than the first one, but unfortunately I didn't manage to capture her likeness as well as before. I might work on it again...

A few weeks ago, on one of these balmy summer evenings here in the Dordogne, I was invited for dinner on the terrace by some dear friends. Not only was the food delicious but I also had the pleasure to sit opposite this beautiful young lady from Holland, who bears the not less beautiful name "Melodie".
