Story:

The "Valentine's Day Show" at the Blue Dog Cafe, in South Beach, kept me busy the whole month of January. Already I was thinking about the region of Normandie I was going to move to in April 2000, and its apples orchards. I was supposed just to make a short trip to France, and finally I stayed there, and two years later, I settled definitively in Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, near the future Apple Museum. (to paint apples!)
