Pont de Charing Cross, Andre Derain
I lived in Paris for awhile and had a studio apartment in the Bourse or financial district. Right across the street was the Paris Stock Exchange. While some would find it odd to choose this location, I knew exactly what I was doing because, through a series of switchbacks, I was soon at the Louvre and the Musee D'Orsay where this painting by Derain hangs.
I love Paris so much and hope to go back, but only after the nonsense regulations of this time are lifted and I can travel freely into the galleries and the cafes without a mask.
Nothing should be masked when you are in a city of this exquisite beauty.
In my dream of a New World, art always figures predominantly for me. I need to be around the beauty of a well crafted painting, Light, Color and Sound fills me when I am in a beautiful gallery. Like an ancient forest of cedars, this is also my cathedral. These joyful memories inform me and make my Spirit soar, they are part of my DNA now.
It is in this way that I carefully craft and create my own canvas of Life which continues to provide sustenance and deep nurture to my Soul.
