Giving homage to a fellow artist is a lovely French tradition, where the achievements & talent of an artist is celebrated by another artist. Sometimes by simply just painting a painting for that artist. Good old Maurice Denis 🙂

So here goes (in no particular order) :

‘Sunlit Tree’
Oil on canvas, 30 x 30 cm, $US 200

Hommage à Vitali Komarov

Vitali seems to have gone ‘off-blog’ as a lot of exceptionally good & talented mid-career professional artists seem to do (lack of comments? lack of sales? lack of web visits? wrong idea about what art blogging is about? who knows?) … but what ever you do, do check out website. https://www.komarovart.com/

Hommage à Loriann Signori

I was deeply touched to read this, as it made feel less alone. As I write the trees along the banks of ‘my’ local little river are being cut down.

Hommage à Dawdlr

Both strange as only “the truth” can be as well as side-splitting arty, post-modernist web-based laughter.
