... of things that we could manage to see in a day.

Our first stop was and two-and-a-half drive to Kassel and the Brothers Grimm Museum. Unfortunately, when we got there, the museum was closed for renovations. Not wanting to make the trip to Kassel a total waste, we visited Wilhelmshöhe. It's a great park and wooded area with castles, fountains, and beautiful views. We hiked around ...

This aspect is extended in a different direction in his detailed mandala paintings.

... from a wide range of motifs, including private or personal moments: In Could this be love?, the lovers are devoid of intimacy, posing as if they knew that they were being gazed at. In Blue Water Silver Moon (Mermaid), a stylised black woman - apparently likewise conscious of being watched - climbs into the water. The figures the viewer encounters are nearly life-size, an aspect that further intensifies their grace and their aloofness.

... gars de Varsovie fort sympathique me prend jusqu'a Poznan. Son 'boulot', c'est de ramener des Cox d'Allemagne pour les refiler a un pote qui les repare et les revend.
