Tu as vraiment le don des compositions. A chaque fois renouvelées et surprenantes. Sans parler des couleurs, dont celles-ci qui ont un petit air 1950. C'est encore une fois superbe. Bravo Pierre. Cela valait la peine d'attendre… Amitiés de Paris. Emmanuel.

Pierre Raby said...

Salut Emmanuel, merci pour tes mots d'encouragements. Ces quelques pièces proviennent d'un service de thé anglais fabriqué en 1951, ton appréciation est donc assez juste.
Bon weekend!

Marvelous, Pierre!

So interesting how the background horizontals, with their softened focus and color shifts, feel almost like something whizzing by in fast motion--like cars perhaps--seen only as blurs. The cups show motion of a different kind: the possibility of movement/collapse implied by the precarious stacking, and the echo of arrested motion in the decorative birds.

Thanks Don for your visit, always a pleasure. I wanted to play with lighter tones for a less dramatic mood, so instead of some dark classical bacground I thought that those stacked decorative white mouldings could make a dynamic contrast with the subject.

you astound me Pierre ... the craftsmanship, sensitivity, composition and the level of difficulty of the objects you paint that i would stay well away from .... wonderful, as always.

cheers
