Why did I go back to this painter's studio I visited last year ?
The sea I know best is the Mediterranean sea, our Mare nostrum I lived by during several years of my life.
As I live sixty kilometers away now, when I passed the shop window I felt attracted by the simple shapes of the paintings where the blue patches prevail: the sea, what I miss.
The apparent simplicity of the scenery in each painting seduced me at first sight. I thought 'this is how I see it, the lines are pure and neat, and the blue tinges look also true to what my eyes can see'.
I needed to get myself twenty square centimeters of it....to take this sea, seen, drawn and painted by Marie-laure Sasso- Ladouce back home, inland!
Now I can contemplate the blue space and get deeper into it, feel the breeze, the light thinning and all the memories of evenings by La Corniche flow gently among the waves which I can see through the looking glass of my souvenirs.
I had a nice welcome by the young painter whom I was glad to meet and share our mutual love of the sea with.
If you walk along Rue Sainte up to Saint Victor, push the door of number 108 and the entire blue of the sea will swallow you...
Smaller ones with the young painter who kindly got into the picture: mine was somewhere in the background.
