When I was very, very young, I was afraid of tulips. Yes, tulips! I was so attracted to the brilliant cup of red of the flower, so put my hand out to look inside and saw... the black pistils and stamens! I snatched my hand back quickly, as if they could crawl out onto me.

All photos on my blog were taken by me during actual visits to northern places. "North" is anything to which we orient our real inner compasses. North is true...
Une Vie d'Artiste is a site on which I will post new work and personal news items, with discussions about both...

I love peaches, fuzzy skin and all.
That statue at the War memorial looks as if that young woman is afraid of butterflies--do you know the one I mean?
