A new "travel"


Since this summer, I didn't managed to begin new canvases.

For those who don't know how I work, it is sufficient to understand that I follow two steps when I'm painting. The first step is dedicated to the architecture of my work, the geometric base of it, and only after, I begin the "colour" step.

So, since this summer, I was completly stopped after the first step. I could not begin the "colour step", probably because I was looking for something more powerfull, but I didn't want to leave the poetic aspect of my "old" and soft (maybe too soft ?) colours.

This is my first "new" painting, or the first one that I think I can show : Less painted cells, but in a more intense way...

I don't know why, but while I was making this painting, I was thinking to the Claude Monet's garden in Giverny, and to the powerfull touches of clear colors which he put on his paintings... Giverny : the name of what could be a new "set"?
