In the footsteps of Apple Tree 2, I experimented, outside, with melting acrylic glazes in the misty Normandy rain.

Michelle Mchenzie on June 12, 2001:
Your work has such a romantic sadness about it. I can look at one of your painting for an eternity. And for every second that I ponder your work I overwhelmed by an array of emotions. What inspires your subject matter?

Pierre: You are right to think that there is more than just the esthetic of the flowers, although it's a scene I' ll forever cherish. The fruit of the original sin is such a fascinating story for me, that I purposefully left Miami in 2001 for my dear Normandy, (the valley of River Epte), just to be in the company of the old cider trees.
I set up my easel in the cider-apple trees orchard, nearby an abandoned thousand year old ruin (Neaufles St Martin).   In such a setting, I dream of time immemorial and. . . Eden.
