The making of that image is so simple,with Picasa I put the two pics together,one of a macro shot of bark without cropping and a portrait of my boyfriend listenning to his friends sitting at the patio table.I darked arround a little and that’s it.I didn’t have to do ajustment for the eye and the ear,it’s like the two pics were meant to fit together… :))) / I sold a matted print on the 29 th of november 08 to an unknown bubbler and that image was edited in the book “Gaïa the living planet” Same processing as Torn / When I did that image I thought about how menkind should be more united with the earth ,to feel renewed by the the contact of nature to become a better individuaL,TO BECOME A FREE THINKER.As long as we are trying to control the earth nothing good will come out of it,I often thought that we should be more like trees who are the lungs of our beautiful planet. / My friend C.C Arshagra wrote a wonderful poem inspired by this image,C.C realy understood what I felt when I named that piece. / That poem is called The Free Thinker would.. /
This composite was made specialy for a the “chaos” challenge last year.I just let myself go and tried something different from what I use to do.I had a old picture from my trip in France when I went skiing in the Alps.The black stain at the left is,in fact,a restaurant at the “Trois Vallées” resort and you also can see the skier’s traces on the snow…. :)) I did a double layer with a shot of the moon taken with my Panasonic FZ-20…some coloring “et voilà”.....just for fun….
We all know that the sun and the moon will never met being on opposite position but what if….. / A double layers. / Friends at last ,they meet on the cosy clouds and stay friends forever. / This idea came to me from a song that my mother used to sing when I was young about a rendez-vous between the moon and the sun that never happenned because the two of them were always waiting for one another.Charles Trenet,my mom’s idole was singing that song… / «Le soleil a rendez-vous avec la lune mais la lune n’est pas là et le soleil l’attend »A wonderful card to say that nothing is impossible when you’re in love. / / / / /
Mr.Roland died two days after I took that picture,he was a realy good friend and I use to tease him a lot.He was blind but always recognised me because he knew my voice«Ah!....« Gigi de St-Hippolyte»he used to say , holding my hand.He never asked for much only to organised his meal in a way he could easily eat by himself and to give him his chaplet for the ceremony on sundays.A great person , very generous and smiling all the time.The worst part for him was not being able to go to the bathroom ,I think that idea killed him ,he was so proud.He died very peacefully with her daughter and son ,hand in hand .The hand you see in the picture is his son’s .Let’s say that if I wasn’t passionnate about my job I couldn’t do it . / /
Don’t we wish at the end of our life ,standing in front of the gloden gate door to stop running,fighting ,having pain ,struggled for life and just follow that beautiful path and disapear in that quiet light . /

J’ai fais la paix en dedans / Avec ma mère ,avec la mer / Je suis prête maintenant / Je suis moins amère. L’Acadie m’appelle / Comme un grand hurlement / Comme un loup rebelle / Sous la lune,pleurant. À bientôt,je vous aime / Après naissances,années / Qui passent et nous ramènent / Là où on se sent aimés / che nous Gisèle…alias …Micmac I will do my best to translate my poem,it won’t sound the same but you will have the main idea . I’m always there / In the swirl of life / St-GraäL,why not / Uncontrolable but delighted Pictures,hapiness,souvenirs / Inexaustible loves / The years are fading me / But my heart stays around The sea shaped rocs / Papy Frédérique,my angel / The sand in my shoes / my roots,gentle blend. I missing you all / In this day,sorrowful rain. / I still hear the Angelus«ave-bell» / Just like Évangéline«heroin from New-Brunwick» Acadia is calling me / like a big howl / like a rebellious wolf / under the moon ,crying. I made peace inside / With my mother ,with the sea / I’m ready now / I ‘m bitterness See you soon,I love you / after births and years / that passing through and bring us back / where we are loved ,home…..

/ “Winter Pears” are part of the Series “Fruits of the Earth” and “Pears“ This painting was created by pouring watercolour at random on Arches paper and then freezing it overnight…ice crystals formed as the paint froze…in the morning as the paint thawed, I did the shadows, painting it in a negative style…it was a challenge to develop the shapes while trying to control the paint as it melted, and still keep the integrity of the image...
