“I have vivid images of colors, of brightness.
Yellow, sunshine, blue, heat, cicadas, pin smell, light…
all of that classical imagery of South France is very alive as an experience inside of me.
Maybe it is what led me to the use of fluorescent colors in my paintings.”
- Françoise Nielly
The portrait of Bill is still unsold according to her website… and my birthday is coming up!
She has really inspired me to play with color, because I have always had this feeling that when you paint something real it should look real. Bill looks real, yet he’s painted in CRAZY colors! I love it! So fun :)
Here’s a link to her fabulous website.![]()
