Story: If ever there was
a painting which seems to shows Magritte's influence on me, this is it. I
painted this piece under the flowering apple tree in the yard behind
my studio, an umbrella protecting me from the wind gusts. The apple
blossoms literally blossomed before my eyes. In no time at all,
little apple buds appeared. A few short weeks later, baring branches
were the harbinger of the nearing harvest. In this painting, the
4 seasons are summer-ized. |

Roure, February 18, 2002 : nice
escapism I really love this apple tree false romantic
ambiance.. Very
relaxing a time. The colors makes me think of some of my grand mothers'
Japanese old prints... (note,
see Chinese style
apple trees) A notion of
family and warmth gets out of it.(...) Did you ever read
"la premiere gorgée de bière" from Philippe
Delherm? Very short novels about small details that one can
notice all life long and special feelings in life. One is called
" the apples' smell " and people who know the way apples
are kept and can smell in a cellar in France, usually love this
one, as while reading it you almost feel in that good smelling cellar!
Two or three pages and just like
when looking at some of your paintings, one leaves reality, and
feels older sensations from every day's life back...Marie.
