Very wonderful there Buddy! I clearly see how you sail with great skill with your nice boat.

Random find in the newspaper today: Jules Verne's two-masted steam sailing yacht, painted for the Jules Verne Museum in Nantes.
She has something about her. Elegance?

Matty told Hatty about a thing she saw

Had two big sails and a wood hull

This would be a dream of mine, sailing out to the middle of the lake during the sunset and just sitting back and relaxing.

I may even bring my fishing pole and bait so I can fish a little bit.

Ah, Leonid Afremov! One of my favourite painters, two of his works beautify my home! Unmistakable technique and style.

Belarus, Israel, Mexico, Florida. He works with oil and palette knife exclusively, his technique is unmistakable. I love his pictures of rivers, parks and couples in parks most. His expressive use of colours sometimes is a bit kitschy, but often it remainds me of dream landscape and their unique attraction, I just love it, I get lost in it, and it triggers strong emotional reactions in me. A certain kind of mediterranean melancholy, or a mix of joy and melancholy you often have in French movies.

He has his own platform, but the much more complete gallery there once was, unfortunately is gone.

These I have in my home, both are amongst his most-known, though he varied the basic motive in dozens of pictures: river, night promenade, park, couple, autumn. Its an endless motive in his work.

OT! In what way did you come in contact with his paintings? ... He was undeniably a man with an inner and present beauty. The versatility is apt.

Not before now I learned of his death, last August, it seems?!

Dont know where I learned about him, somewhere online.It was one painting that immediately reminded me of a fire and candle lit garden landscape at midnight from a dream I once had and remembered for long time, because I loved it so, and felt so paradisically happy and completeley arrived in it. If I would give an idea of what afterlife should feel like, that dream would be it, and if I would be certain that death is like that scene, I would not be around here anymore since many years. That painting incredibly directly connected to me, like being struck by lightning. It was a revelation. I do not have it, unfortunately, also not the title. Searching for it again later on led me to collecting many downloads of his paintings from across the web, like those above, but the one I looked up I never foud again. Thos edownloaded images I have by the dozens.

Quite poetic a story, in a way, isn'T it.
