<\/a><\/h6>\nSid in a\u00a0pose just right for a painting.<\/h6>\n
Here’s a quick look at the painting used in the advertising. When Anne and I were in France last spring we took in many, many art museums. We were inspired by everything. Now and then I’d come across a piece that enthused me to try one similar. The above, Portrait of Sid<\/em>\u00a0(16″x20″) is my result of that. In many ways it’s not so\u00a0different from approaches I already use, but perhaps taken a little further. That’s Sid herself in the black and white photo I came across from\u00a01967, about the time we all went different ways.![\"anne-w-anne\"](\"http:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/egallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Anne-w-Anne-650x784.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nHere’s a portrait of Anne photographing a detail of\u00a0Portrait of Anne<\/em>.<\/h6>\nIt was in Colmar, France, where we came across the painting entitled Portrait of Anne<\/em>, by Russian painter Nicolas de Stael, done in 1953. I don’t know if Anne was taking this picture because she loved the painting as I did, or its name. (I’ve always loved that name.)<\/p>\n![\"sketchbook-1300\"](\"http:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/egallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Sketchbook-1300-650x646.jpg\")

<\/a><\/h6>\nFowl cry foul<\/em>
\nThe sky she’s falling again<\/em>
\nBovine first to know.<\/em><\/h6>\nBoth of us were taking pictures all the time, her with i-pad, me with i-phone. But I also did a great deal of sketching. The book I produced after the trip is available and featured here<\/a>. As you can see, though the painting is strong in its use of color, it also holds up in monotone with bold\u00a0graphic elements. Since I was also writing haiku for the book, here’s the one that accompanied this page:<\/p>\nSaint Petersburg painter<\/em>
\nTranslates woman in essence<\/em>
\nWe know his language.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nThe sketch on the facing page is after an aquatint print we found in the gift shop, a process particularly of interest to printmaker Anne. There’s my haiku for that one, too.<\/p>\n
