I am a French self-taught artist, and these past twenty years I have made Norway my home. Moving to the Lofoten islands was the greatest present I ever made to myself and the Arctic landscapes are indeed a true treat for any artist’s eyes. I live with my British soulmate, my sweet Papillon girls, Lucy and Pixie and the spirit of my border collie, Loki. My creativity is a tribute to the eyes that blink in the heart of every smallest thing, the flowing dreams whose pulse tries to reach to us in our most meditative state.
Do you remember the “work in progress” from a few days ago? Well… it’s still progressing! I love Nature and Relaxation’s channel on Youtube. I switch on my TV only to play their videos.

I’ve been cosying up with books and a bit of weaving while
I love the colors, it makes me feel nostalgic for tropical places. I love the atmosphere, too. Painting this helped me to move forward in my mourning process. I actually dreamed three nights ago that Loki was coming back to me and wanted to be washed. Since he hated the shower when he was alive, I washed him with love. Just love. The next night, he was coming back again, he was given a second life. A second life, a second chance with me, in my dreams. A wonderful gift.
While painting this, I listened a lot to an old Joni Mitchell album, Song to a Seagull, and particularly these two tracks enveloped me in the right kind of vibe for painting this:
