June paintings Story:
Sollicitude 1 Pierre Marcel. June 2001, Gisors, France.
Acrylic on canvas 59 x 59 inches (150 x 150 cm) see catalogueJune is the time when, in early morning, the gardens are the most tended to, with meticulous care.
For the water pail paintings, I set up my easel just in the center of a "jardin ouvrier" and brought extreme attention to a row of lettuce.
"Jardins ouvriers" are public patches of land, allotted to local citizens, to grow vegetables - these days more for leisure than for necessity- and where the gardeners compete for the biggest cabbage, the heaviest eggplant or the smokiest Sunday barbecue. They were nice with me, lending me a small wood shack to shelter the paint material at night. Click to see the other paintings I made there that year: Strawberryfields , Eve's ladder,
