I don't know how else to do this!<br /><br />https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=d244a4cbe7&view=att&th=127aafd1fd7bbcd2&attid=0.1.1&disp=emb&zw<br /><br /><br />Hey D<br /><br />aaahhhh..... La Sainte....<br /><br />Yeah... that beautiful hunk of rock has a definite magnetic way of growing on you... I look at, contemplate, and admire her every day and when I am away, I also look for her when I come home... to feel back home and to see what mood she is in...She has sat for me many times as a model... with many a change of expression...From my terrace I have seen her completely covered where I can't even see her at all...or sometimes with only a veil or simple coiffe of clouds on or over her...I have seen lightening hit the cross on her head... And I have also often seen her sprawled out lying there in front of me stark naked in the bright mistral light.....You know where I am and the view I have of her and I do often feel a certain sense of comfort and security living behind her in the valley of Vauvenargues...C'est un lieu où souffle l'esprit...It's almost like being maternally watched over at all times....."être sous les jupes" as one would say en français...I completely understand the spell that our little mountain had, has, and will always have on anyone with any sensitivity and sensualité in their mind and body... whether they are artist or just simple dreamer...<br /> En tout cas...Moi... Je suis ravi d'habiter en face d'une sainte...Delana@dujourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319475424591739125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954745049002985163.post-35769277855704864832010-03-26T21:24:18.596+01:002010-03-26T21:24:18.596+01:00Better have your oxygen tank with you too Sonja!Better have your oxygen tank with you too Sonja!Lisa Rossmanhttp://www.gsplady.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954745049002985163.post-42582114159236322202010-03-26T17:16:41.390+01:002010-03-26T17:16:41.390+01:00Thank you M and bienvenue.

This just happens to be mine...for the moment.<br />FF:I recently went to an exibit of Picasso and Cezanne...an exploration of how Cezanne's work influenced Picasso. When looking at their paintings side by side, I preferred Cezanne's by far. There is just something about the light in his work that pulls me in.<br />I wish I could paint.<br />Michelle: Welcome to you also! It's heartening to know that my site actually gets passed on. I understand about "the list". As soon as I check one off, I am compelled to add several more. And thank you for the compliment. It really means so much to me. Now, off to your site.Delana@dujourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319475424591739125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954745049002985163.post-85409959972271812522010-03-26T15:50:17.772+01:002010-03-26T15:50:17.772+01:00Cezanne's painting of La Montagne Sainte Victo...Cezanne's painting of La Montagne Sainte Victoire a some of the most beautiful that I've seen. Although I have never see the mountain itself in person, it appears that it should be on my list of places to visit. The list is getting long. As an artist myself, I am quit intrigued. I shall say that you are an artist of sorts, for you write very well and it was a joy to read your description. I am writer as well. <br />I am friend to Carrie Knutson, Hawaii Carrie. She sent me your blog link and I am glad to have this treasure of words of a life well lived. <br />Michelle in GermanyManifestinghttp://newlawofattraction.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954745049002985163.post-56146575791074767112010-03-26T10:16:37.562+01:002010-03-26T10:16:37.562+01:00I've been looking at that Cezanne painting for...I've been looking at that Cezanne painting for about a minute and just don't know how he did it.
