Jean-Michel Folon is a Genius
Would you mind looking at this -- his idea of what the Rocky Mountains look like -- while I think of something to say?
Thanks so much ...
Ah, thanks for waiting:
"I do not understand my images, and anyone is free to understand them as he wishes. I have only tried to depict my own dreams with the hope that in them others may hang their own."
Jean-Michel Folon
Today's fragrance is ... c's Pour Une Saison, a peppery rose with broom that will take two days to understand. So today I'll tell you it's beautiful and tomorrow I'll tell you why.

p.s. interesting mountains. I would suggest you take a field trip up here and form a first hand opinion of the Canadian Rockies. I'll meet you there!

I'm looking! I'm looking! LOL!
I remember when Jean-Michel Folon first came to everyone's attention. His flying men, wearing overcoats and hats, were very strange. He's a latter-day surrealist. I'm happy when someone mentions a French person I've heard of: there are so many people I have no idea about (those who became famous after 1979).
I've never been to the Rockies so I can't tell how close his pic is to the real thing. ;-)
cqwyz: must rush off

holly molly. I just went to his site. He's amazing. I'm embarrassed to say I didn't know his work. You do post the nicest pictures.

I just want to thank you for clearing something up for me. For years I tried to understand stream of consciousness style, and then about a month ago you wrote a post in that style and mentioned it. Then the realization dawned on me. It was a really exciting feeling to finally understand something after almost 30 years of confusion. Thank you for that.
And it would be interesting to see the living room with the carpet, walls and furniture that this picture would go with.

N, I think you're right: he is Belgian. I forgot. Thanks for the reminder. The arrogance of those French people, eh!!! LOL!

The picture is nice, but not my image of the rockies. But that's okay. It's a feeling not a picture anyway.
On the fragrance: I'm not clear on what a "broom" means in this. I'm totally dumb on fragrance, so please forgive me if this is a typo.

Reminds me of sliced up strawberries w/ sugar for some reason...

Looks at painting. Looks out window. Looks at painting. Squints. Looks out window. Shrugs. Returns to life of literal- and small-minded complacency.

Reminds me of Pete Max. Like, I expect some blue meanies to jump out from behind those mnts. LOL.

Love the picture, thank you.
Thought you were going to tell us why today?
1:27 PM
I did ... but probably too late for you to catch. I'm moving slow today. xoxo
1:33 PM
WEll, Folon himself encouraged us to make of it what we will ... interesting. xoxo
