Ode to Vincent

As a painter I often wonder about my artistic ancestors and their space. They were a lexon of their time. Did they know that? Do we? Where did they create? what was the energy of their space? and if we I were to visit it today could we still feel their creative syntax? Check out this fab book called Artists in Residence: A Guide to the Homes and Studios of Eight 19th-Century Painters In and Around Paris Paperback with slip case which totally explores artists and their space.









At Rodin's house now a Musee in Paris I felt the syntax and I felt this was a very sacred place. Does creation and pilgrimage create a sacred space?
I could not stop sketching when I was there, I was truly inspired. This is a must to experience in your travels.
Hey, I just found out the absinthe with worm wood has been legal in US since 2007. They called it the 'Green Fairy" "CLICK HERE" I always wanted to try it. Ode to Vincent. Maybe tomorrow I will indulge and paint.

I would love to hear all your stories about the artists spaces you have visited. Please e-mail us or just comment.
Namaste, Lisa
