78th Fete du Citron - Colour


"Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? No. Just as one can never learn how to paint."

~ Pablo Picasso

  4. While he would attract lots of attention at the Pope's front door, I don't suppose he is all that different in Menton during the various festivals.

  6. That is a great quote. I always thought there is some rule that they teach artists in art school, and I don't know the rule because I didn't go to art school. Now I feel better.

    By the way, You really cropped this photo wonderfully to zero in on that man's face. Showing the larger photograph lets us see your artistry.
