Wishing to look what French elegance was alike in the old times, you can see, now, a large rank of handpainted fashion plates images displayed on the web, in a public picasa album.

It's my pleasure to promote French art and culture in the best way I can!
France is a very beautiful country, famous for wines, cheese and cooking, but also for culture and luxe fashion, since a long time: I am proud of it!
Showing publicly this album, I wish to intoduce art lovers to a wonderful world of elegance, charm and delicacy.

Dark cloud over Japan
I have no words to say what I feel...
I can't take my brushes to paint miniature portraits and fashion plates, even if I know that could make me feel likely in another world.
A world where there is no nuclear threatening, no destructive earthquake nor fatal tsunami...
A world where kids are not crying in desolate streets, looking for their parents, their home...
I am sure that japanese people will stand up and fight, but the terrible tragedy they are living now makes me feel so sad...
