Delirium Tremens

Somebody in America commented

“… provocative… and well done…”

I was quite surprised by the “provocative”. To tell the truth this was only a further game with the photos of the glasses I took the other day instead of making the washing up…

and well, a drop of creative delirium on top of it,  a drop of eroticism and plenty of color.

But I do wonder about the provocation… just because of one naked breast? Some artists show whole naked bodies all the time… my only aim was to make something appealing…

it does not matter, anyway, the “well done” is more than enough for me!

The Slavery of Freedom

(“The Dance of The Universe”)

Wondering if I am turning myself always more towards Digital Art… The process started at the beginning of this year, using the blossoming almond trees as a pretext to extend my world of classical painting to a mixed technique involving digital art.

I am a little bit confused. I feel myself in the meanwhile more attracted by Digital paintings, when they are well done -  Paintings by other artists or in my own creative process. They seem to satisfy much more my needs of mystery and impossible possibilities.

And… it is soooooo clean!

It allows me to be wild without filthying everything on and around me, clothes, tables, walls, floors,… of course I am missing the sensuality of paper, brushes, water… but there are computer tools which produce similar sensitive effects on my brain.

I know that I am running the risk to lose my faithful fans and clients with this new direction, as most people don’t accept digital art as art. At least I can say that my stuff is not solely digital art. It is strongly based on classical art.

Anyway: first of all, I paint for myself, and I have to do what I have to do:

This is the slavery of freedom!

The First Wedding: Give Me a title!

I have decided to submit this painting from my new series

“La Création du Monde”

to your fantasy, allowing it as the next subject from my competition “GIVE ME A TITLE”

To participate is very simple: just give me a title for this painting. The actual title

“The first Wedding”

comes, like always, from Kevin Moore.

You can leave the title here as a comment (and I´ll add it myself to the list of the other titles in my website Goodaboom), or you can go directly to the competition page Give Me A Title.

By the way: there is something to win, a small hand-signed, personally dedicated Giclee print of the painting. The competition will last until the end of January.

Good Luck and thanks for participating!

The last competition  has been won by  LostinWonder, U.S.A. with the wonderful title

“Echos of the Sirens”

First Light…

Some days ago I had a painting session in my new bathroom-atelier

(I should find a name for this room… any idea?),

perhaps you remember:

“Flinging and spraying and pouring colour…”

I made a lot of basic work that day and I’m now gradually going through all these first impressions, trying to create something “showable” out of them. I have finished quite a lot already, and they seem to be forming a series- a sort of Creation of the World. In fact, judging by the structures and forms and textures which emerge, I wouldn’t wonder if God also created his world in a bathroom…  kind of!

Anyway, this is one I finished yesterday, and Kevin gave it this wonderful title

“First Light”

et Le Diable créa La Femme…

I wrote the title of this painting in French because it is a secret in fact, which only we, French, know…

One of my fantasies from the bathroom, yesterday… I mean the painting, not the secret!

Fantasies from the Bathroom…

Sorry if the title has led you to wrong expectations… 

I just wanted to show you which kind of new paintings I have created in the bathroom of my new gallery, totally converted by Kevin’s wonder brain and hands into a little atelier where I mostly do the dirty work, meaning my stuff in acrylics, by which I normally fling the colours through the air, hoping that some accidentally land on the paper or the canvas.

But well, this one was created with a new technique, which came to my mind as I was painting a frame… a little bit more controlled than the flinging technique, but well, most of the time letting nature and fate do their job…but above all I used some cardboard in which Kevin’s new keyboard was wrapped as “my canvas” and it added some cute effects to the whole!

George in Heaven

As I told you in my last post, the official opening of my new gallery with our first visitor Jackie from England, was a success. First of all it was a deep pleasure as this very intimate visit allowed us to know each other better, and this is perhaps the most important thing as Jackie seems to be a very nice lady.

I already said that she was amazed by my Eroscapes and Fantascapes and her eyes kept coming back to them. She fixed her eyes on the one above eventually, looked at it a long long time in silence and then said:

“it reminds me My George in Heaven…”

Jackie lost her husband George 6 months ago, as she told me, the big love of her life. She finds it very hard to live without him, above all in this flat here in Spain where they had such a lovely time.

“What is the painting called?”

she asked me…

Well, I always have trouble giving titles to my paintings, because I generally don’t like to put words to them. This is the reason why I often ask Kevin to give me a title for them. But with the Eroscapes, We were so busy doing the gallery and exhibitions, we really had not time to bother about painting titles! At that point this painting was labelled in my computer with the unheavenly mathematical title

“The Eroscapes – #2 – Parallelism 2″

really nothing I could publicly reveal to Jackie…

But you know, in life, if you want to be successful,  you can’t doubt yourself and must grasp the right occasion at the right moment. I had a genial idea:

“Do you know what? I think I will call this painting

“George in Heaven”

Jackie was very touched and I was infinitely happy to have such a great title with such a touching story behind. Jackie looked at the painting for a good half an hour further, and at the end she said

“I can’t leave George here..”

and she bought the painting!

Jackie was leaving the next day for England and she could not take George with her this time. George in Heaven will stay in my gallery hanging on my wall until Jackie comes back

The Eroscapes – #2 – Parallelism 2

I presented the original of this Eroscape about 2 weeks ago, wondering if you were able to find the Black Beauty in the painting. Nobody saw, I think,  the Black Beauty although some saw a lot of wonderful figures and one other even wrote an extraordinary poem about them…

In this parallelism the black beauty has bleached quite a lot, somehow. I wonder if you, and especially Bob, have eyes for her this time…

The Eroscapes – #2 – Original

As I was a little girl in France (not that I am much bigger now…) they used to put in the magazines a game called

“Cherchez la souris”

( “Search for the mouse”)

They showed a picture where they had hidden a mouse somewhere, in the most unexpected place.

I loved to search for the mouse!

I wonder if you are able to find the Black beauty up there. Kevin is always amazed, when he looks at my Eroscapes, how he suddenly discovers some more figures besides the main one. Then he can’t believe that he didn’t see them at once. And in fact, once you see them, it is hard to believe that they really were there before…

Perception is such a mysterious phenomena… and we, artists, we sometimes love to play with it. I have noticed that many people adore the pictures where they gradually discover and recognise the various elements. They kind of get a deeper emotional connection to them, I don’t know why.

It must have something to do with some basic need of human nature…

The Eroscapes – #1 – Parallelism 5

As I said in my last post, each of my original Eroscapes has one or more Parallelisms.

No pretension behind the name nor the result, just my own fun and pleasure.

Many times people would love a painting if only… if only the dominant colour were red and not blue, if all the colours were different, if they were lighter, if the format were different, etc…

My Parallelisms are an attempt, beside pleasing myself, to please more people. One might say it is just a commercial trick, it is not, although it will surely help! But it is is above all creature pleasure and the resulting excitement to discover many different facets of the same painting.

And here I want to say a big

“Hurrah!”

to computer technique, which allows us to do such things without having to go through the boring process of drawing and painting the same things again and again!

The one I show you today is the last, at least for now, of the series on Eroscape #1… I don’t know how it happens, but it keeps installing itself as the background on my gigantic screen, and honestly, it looks fabulous as such. Perhaps it is just meant as such, only a background…

but well, backgrounds are very important, aren’t they?
