For example, for a wedding in Loire-Atlantique (France), I assigned each table a theme associated with the region. Brière marshes, salt marshes, fisheries, fishing, wave, ... This allows your guests to discover the specificities of the region, and customize an original and unique table plan.
For this occasion, I chose a small size (13x13cm) to free space on the table. The support (canvas board) rests on a small metal easel, purified and which marries the style of the room.
I let you discover some photographs of the event and selected works ...

A little preview...
Original work of Claude Monet
I worked with oil as a medium, on a canvas stretched over a frame.
Steps 1 to 5
I usually start my paintings by the background, then come to supper layers ending in the foreground. But for this subject I preferred to start with the first and second ground, because vegetation is used as a frame to the painting, and allows to really grasp the atmosphere. It is still time afterwards to come and sketch the house in the background, and work the details of the foliage over it.
The biggest difficulty in this painting was to reproduce the play of shadow on the way, without having seen the garden in reality. Understanding where the light comes from and how it is projected through the branches and flowers required time and several attempts.
Step 6
Concerning the tonality of the canvas, Claude Monet made several versions, successively in cold colors then warm. The person for whom I made this painting wanted a warmer version, with orange and pink tones.
Initially, I worked in cold tones of greens. This allowed me to get the base of the vegetation. Then I came to work the detail of the flowers gradually adding the warm colors. This work takes time because it takes about 3 weeks between each key so that the oil dries.
Step 7 and 8
The shadows cast on the road did not please me. So I decided to "erase" them and resume the play of general shadow of the canvas. I picked up the shadows in the groves bordering the aisle, and reworked the colors by replacing white touches by ochres and naple yellow. I resumed the shadows on the central aisle.
The aim was not to produce a copy of Monet's work, but to resume his composition and to try to reproduce the atmosphere that this painter could feel while walking in the alley of his garden.
Step 1 - The frame Step 2 - The alley Step 3 - The alley Step 4 - The house Step 5 - Path tests
Step 6 - Change of tone Step 7 - Shadows Step 8 - Shadows, Finished painting

This year I had the pleasure and honor of being published in the 12th issue of the luxury magazine "Art and Design".
For those who do not know, this quarterly magazine is a recent one in the world of art. The first issue came out three years ago.
The aim of its creator, Harry Bettancourt, is to propose a magazine that directly connects artists with an ultra-targeted audience of buyers, prescribers and collectors. Its sales outlets are therefore limited: the magazine is only distributed on subscription, or in places of prestige such as luxurious hotels, golf courses and a private jet.
The conductor line of the magazine: "With our major targets, we wanted our concept not to be a benchmark of artists known to all but on the contrary a place of discovery of talent."
I leave you a glimpse by offering you the article about my work.
See you soon!
You can meet me at booth # 6, on Place Jean Jaurès (the market place).
I will exhibit my last paintings, with this year several large formats 31.5x31.5 inch.
See you soon!

A first overview of the paintings for exhibitions in Carré d'Artistes galleries.
These paintings will be exclusively on sale in the gallery where the exhibition " Carré d'artistes " would take place by the beginning of November 2016 ( for more information, go to the page " EXHIBITIONS ".
The rain still continues to fall all day long since the beginning of the month, which prevents me from painting outdoors Castle Lassay.
Indeed to paint from real seems to me, for this subject, the best way to restore its soul, its colors and its atmosphere.
But storing brushes? No way!
So I took the opportunity to achieve a goal (dream) that I had secretly set: apply in an international artist gallery.
I took my brushes in hands, and I launched myself into this project.
After a pre-selection by email, I sent 4 pictures on set sizes: two 5.12x5.12 inches, one 7.48x7.48 inches and one 9.84x9.84 inches
After a few days (endless days to be honest) of waiting, I received THE call telling me that I was chosen by the jury to exhibit in their galleries! So nowI have to provide 40 works in the coming months, on the theme of the sea...
Suffice to say that the Castle of Lassay is staring me with worried eyes! But to paint the countryside will give me relief between all these seascape...
I let you discover here below the 4 painteing that allowed me to be selected.
See you soon!
