A lovely painting

I'm loving the muted palette in the painting above and how it reflects some of this season's fashions. The last picture was taken by me, it's the window of a shoe store in the 7e arrondissement of Paris.

Hope you're having a great week. I have some family visiting from out of the country this week, looking forward to catching up, enjoying some delicious meals, going to a few museums and hopefully, the theater.

White Swan-Black Swan

I finally got to see the movie Black Swan this week. I know that the reviews are far from unanimous, but I must admit, I quite loved it. Natalie Portman's transformation into the black swan was mesmerizing, bone chilling and in my view, worth the ticket. As an artist, I could also relate to certain scenes depicting her suffering (emotionally, not physically) for her art.

There is an interesting article in the New York Times today about the reactions of real life ballerinas to the movie.

How do you feel about it? Did you enjoy?
