Thank you ...Bazza, I'll visit again for sure. <br /><br />Thank you for your appreciative comment on my photographs. I'm not a professional photographer, far from that, I just try to walk and improve along that photography path. :) <br />Petra Pavlátkováhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703286779861972964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-18712930440310796152014-07-29T17:52:36.329+01:002014-07-29T17:52:36.329+01:00Hi Petra.

It's utterly understandable, why the picture is known as "The snail" rather than "La Composition Chromatique"! :)Petra Pavlátkováhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703286779861972964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-85160229684171032792014-07-16T18:24:53.285+01:002014-07-16T18:24:53.285+01:00AC: I ooh-la-la'd so much that my head hurts. ...AC: I ooh-la-la'd so much that my head hurts.

And the weather was quite kind to us but with a big crowd of ten Brits and ten French we were bound to have fun anyway!

We were in Paris years ago when the Tour was ending and had no idea why people were lining up four deep along the boulevard. We were able to see the very end. Exciting!<br />Hope the rain stays away.loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-69368019844070632742014-07-11T06:56:04.658+01:002014-07-11T06:56:04.658+01:00Hey Bazza!

Of course, the wait for my comment in always worth it, I state convincingly. <br /><br />He was a colourist, for sure. I cannot see the paintings when I go to comment. How's my memory? Sorry, where am I? <br /><br />I have informed the French authorities of your visit. Have fun and on your bike, Bazza!<br /><br />Gary klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-37971557248786588282014-07-10T20:53:12.955+01:002014-07-10T20:53:12.955+01:00Hi Bazza!

Have fun and a good break - hope the weather is playing fair .. <br /><br />I hope to see the Matisse at the Tate - and learn - the little snail is a great touch isn't it .. <br /><br />I was in London yesterday for the Primary Colours exhibition at the National Gallery - brilliant it was and I'm so pleased I went ...<br /><br />Cheers and thanks for sharing some of Mattisse's other work ... along with your notes ..
