..THANK YOU VOTERS AND ADMIN, :))VIVA.🙏....
COLETTE : World famous, French author.
A digitally remastered, watercolor,portrait painting,by VIVA Anderson, in homage.
'I love my past. I love my present. I'm not ashamed of what I've had, and I'm not sad because I have it no longer.''― Colette, 'Cheri'
"By means of an image we are often able to
hold on to our lost belongings. But it is the
desperateness of losing which picks the
flowers of memory, binds the bouquet."Colette.
Sidonie Colette. 1873-1954
so far,far 'before her time'.
A very early artwork, slightly surreal to honour this amazing French woman, at this time of travail in France. She is my heroine, was a great intellect, and, beautiful, and, a rebel with a cause,oh yes.Something of a zealot.
"Colette was a French novelist nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948. Her best known work, the novella Gigi, was the basis for the film and Lerner and Loewe stage production of the same name." Wikipedia
