                <description><![CDATA[ Bad WE for me. The young son of a colleague I'm working with dead last thursday, in a car accident when he came back home after his work. I went to the funeral saturday. I never saw something more heart-breaking than the sorrow of his parents.<br /><br />He was 18 years old and was the pride of his parents. He just found a work, he had a girlfriend, he was happy. <br /><br />I just want to say something to young people. Please, please. You are not immortal, even if you are 18. The accidents don't only concern other people. Please, please. When you are driving, only think to come safe to the arms of your family, of your girl or boy friend, of your friends and all the people who loves you. Moderate your speedness. The cimetaries are full of young people who thought they could master their car. Please, please.<br /><br />__________<br /><br /><br />Epouvantable WE. Le jeune fils d'une de mes collÃ¨gues de travail vient de se tuer, jeudi dernier, dans un accident de voiture alors qu'il rentrait de son travail. Je me suis rendue Ã  ses obsÃ¨ques samedi. Je n'ai jamais rien vu de plus triste que la souffrance de ses parents, Ã  la limite du supportable.<br /><br />Il avait 18 ans et faisait la fiertÃ© de ses parents. Il venait de dÃ©crocher un CDI, il avait une copine, il Ã©tait heureux.<br /><br />J'aimerais juste dire une seule chose Ã  tous les jeunes de son Ã¢ge. S'il vous plait, s'il vous plait. Vous n'Ãªtes pas immortel, mÃªme Ã  18 ans. Les accidents n'arrivent pas qu'aux autres S'il vous plait, s'il vous plait. Lorsque vous Ãªtes au volant, pensez uniquement Ã  arriver sain et sauf entre les bras de votre famille, de votre copine ou copain, de vos amis et de tous ceux qui vous aiment. Levez le pied. Les cimetiÃ¨res sont pleins de jeunes qui croyaient maÃ®triser leur vÃ©hicule. S'il vous plait, s'il vous plait.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm currently working on a new version of my "Crazy Wizard Castle", with a new square size and 2 more illustration (for a 32 pages book) more adapted for an eventual publishing. So, I already deleted the older pictures (except 3 of them, published in the Pink Giraffe pages too). I hope you wouldn't be too much desappointed by this new revision of my pages.

Aussi ai-je dÃ©jÃ  effacÃ© de mes pages les anciennes illustrations (Ã  l'exception de 3 d'entre elles, conjointement publiÃ©es sur les pages de "The Pink Giraffe"). J'espÃ¨re que vous ne m'en voudrez pas trop de vous priver du plaisir de les voir ici: je conserve l'espoir de rÃ©ussir Ã  sÃ©duire un Ã©ventuel Ã©diteur, de prÃ©fÃ©fence international (tant qu'Ã  faire...) <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Last Sunday, on June 21st 2009, was one of the best days of all my life. <br /><br />In 1981, an adorable 2 years old little girl called Cecile came into my life, entrusted by her uncle, her mother being unable to take care of her. She was the sun of my life 2 years long, until her mother came to take her back and I didn't have any more news from my little Cecile. I often tried to find her, unsuccessfully for 25 years.<br /><br />And last Sunday, thanks to Facebook, I did!<br /><br />She is now 29 years old and the mother of 3 adorable childrens of 9, 3 and 1. It is as if I had suddenly 3 grandchildren more. And one of them will celebrate his first birthday the same day than I will celebrate my own birthday, on June 28th! <br /><br />I'm very lucky. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />____________<br /><br />Dimanche dernier, le 21 Juin 2009, a Ã©tÃ© l'un des plus beaux jours de toute ma vie.<br /><br />En 1981, une adorable petite CÃ©cile Ã¢gÃ©e de 2 ans prenait place dans ma vie, confiÃ©e par son oncle, sa mÃ¨re Ã©tant alors dans l'incapacitÃ© de s'en occuper. Je l'ai Ã©levÃ©e comme ma propre fille durant 2 ans, jusqu'Ã  ce que sa mÃ¨re vienne la reprendre. Et, depuis, je n'en ai plus eu aucune nouvelle. Durant 25 ans, je n'ai eu de cesse de la retrouver, en vain.<br /><br />Et, dimanche dernier, grÃ¢ce Ã  Facebook, j'y suis parvenue!<br /><br />Elle a maintenant 29 ans, bien sÃ»r, et trois adorables enfants de 9, 3 et un an. C'est comme si j'avais subitement 3 petits-enfants de plus. Et le petit dernier fÃªtera son (1er) anniversaire le mÃªme jour que moi, le 28 Juin!<br /><br />J'ai beaucoup de chance. N'est-ce pas un beau conte de fÃ©es?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I'm so happy for her.<br /><br />For my part, my employers thought my timework was too much negative and I'm currently working a bit more for equalization. It means that the company seems to go better and that the factory will not be temporary closed, for the moment. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />_________<br /><br /><br />Ma meilleure amie, Christine, rÃ©cemment divorcÃ©e avec 3 filles Ã  charge, vient de trouver un emploi pour la saison (6 mois). Je suis si contente pour elle.<br /><br />Quant Ã  moi, mon employeur vient de dÃ©crÃ©ter que certains d'entre nous avaient trop de RTT nÃ©gatifs et m'a rajoutÃ© quelques heures sup par semaine sur mon emploi du temps pour compenser. C'est plutÃ´t bon signe, signe que nous ne serons finalement pas mis au chÃ´mage technique, pour le moment. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm a bit in low spirits today. Due to the economic crisis. The company where I'm working goes bad, as every company all around here. All the interim workers were dismissed friday. Some of them worked in this company for 2 or 3 years and became friends. As all the companies are in the same case, there is no work everywhere. I cannot imagine their conditions of life in the next weeks or months. For us, permanent staff, our working time is reduced, without any wage loss for the moment. But how long?<br /><br />The paradox is that I'll have more time to paint at the same time when I don't have any taste to do anything...<br /><br />_________________________<br /><br /><br />Je suis un peu deprimÃ©e, aujourd'hui. A cause de la crise Ã©conomique. L'entreprise dans laquelle je travaille va mal, comme - du reste - toutes les entreprises du coin. Tous les intÃ©rimaires ont Ã©tÃ© renvoyÃ©s chez eux vendredi soir, pour une durÃ©e indÃ©terminÃ©e. Certains travaillaient lÃ  depuis 2 ou 3 ans, et nous avions tissÃ© des liens. Comme il n'y a plus de travail nulle part, j'ose Ã  peine imaginer leur condition dans les prochaines semaines, voire les prochains mois: certains sont dans une situation dramatique. Quant Ã  nous, notre temps de travail hebdomadaire est passÃ© Ã  32 heures pour tout le personnel (production et administratif), en compteur temps nÃ©gatif sans rÃ©duction de salaire... pour le moment, mais pour combien de temps?<br /><br />Le paradoxe est le suivant: Ã  prÃ©sent que je vais avoir plus de temps pour peindre, je n'en ai ni l'envie ni le goÃ»t...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Here is my 3rd watercolours pictures of my ecological serie based on the danger of death for the last mermaids, due to pollution and human industrial business. I wanted to depict the horrible slavery condition of the poor mermaids captured for the purpose of making business with shows (sirenarium), and often ill-treated. Their smile is purely professionnal: it is the main condition to obtain fresh and good fishs instead of the ordinary (and bad taste) food (balls of animal flour). Please, refuse these degrading shows and mermaids slavery.<br /><br />I had a lot of fun to do the water reflections, wavelets and splash, and I'm quite pleased with the result. But the scan was horrible, so I took a photo of the picture for a better result. I hope you'll like it.<br /><br />---------<br /><br />Voici ma troisiÃ¨me aquarelle de ma sÃ©rie Ã©cologique consacrÃ©e au danger de disparition des derniÃ¨res sirÃ¨nes, du Ã  la pollution et aux entreprises industrielles humaines. J'ai voulu dÃ©crire l'horrible condition d'esclavage faite Ã  ces pauvres sirÃ¨nes, capturÃ©es dans le seul but mercantile d'organiser des spectacles (sirenarium) et souvent maltraitÃ©es. Leur sourire est purement professionnel: c'est une des conditions qui leur sont imposÃ©es si elles veulent obtenir de bons poissons frais Ã  la place de leur (trÃ¨s mauvaise) nourriture ordinaire, Ã  base de boulettes de farines animales. Par pitiÃ©, refusez d'assister Ã  ce genre de spectacle dÃ©gradant et refusez la mise en esclavage des sirÃ¨nes!<br /><br />J'ai pris beaucoup de plaisir Ã  peindre l'eau, ses reflets, ses vaguelettes, ses Ã©claboussures, et je suis assez satisfaite du rÃ©sultat. Mais le scan Ã©tait horrible, j'ai finalement pris une photo de ma peinture pour un meilleur rÃ©sultat. J'espÃ¨re que vous l'aimerez.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ At last, I did it. It was a long time I wanted to publish my old artwork (done before 2004) in Elfwood. I found a few time today to do it. They are old but I still like them. I thought to use some of them as background for other pictures, later perhaps. Or perhaps not.<br /><br />Alas, I could not publish all the paintings. For some of them, the photos I did were too bad or too small. For some other one (especially a couple of still life paintings I love), I took for models photos I found in a magazine, and surely protected by a copyright: I'm not sure that a painting of them is allowed, so...<br /><br />Nevertheless, I hope you'll like these paintings.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I did this one, inspired by the horrible weather we have since the beginning of the month... I hope you'll like it.<br /><br />It doesn't mean that I stopped my serial about "mermaids in danger". I have some other pictures in my mind, I'll do them later. In a first time I must do my Christmas card for this year... alas I don't have any idea for the moment.

I hope you'll like it.<br /><br />If someone have some suggestion about an association (or something else) for the protection of the last mermaids, it will be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />____________________________________<br /><br /><br />Mauvaise nouvelle apprise il y a quelques semaines: un projet d'enfouissement de dÃ©chets nuclÃ©aires dans la commune voisine de la nÃ´tre <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/fear.gif" width="18" height="18" alt=":fear:" title="Fear" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/crying.gif" width="20" height="17" alt=":crying:" title="Crying" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/tombstone.gif" width="21" height="25" alt=":tombstone:" title="I'll be your huckleberry!" /> (Je vais probablement devoir dÃ©mÃ©nager... si j'arrive Ã  trouver un imbÃ©cile susceptible d'acheter ma maison...)<br /><br />Ca m'a donnÃ© l'idÃ©e d'une sÃ©rie d'aquarelles consacrÃ©es Ã  l'Ã©cologie, basÃ©es sur le danger de disparition des derniÃ¨res sirÃ¨nes, dÃ» Ã  la pollution et aux activitÃ©s humaines industrielles. J'espÃ¨re qu'elle vous plaira.<br /><br />Et si quelqu'un a des suggestions Ã  faire sur une Ã©ventuelle association de dÃ©fense des derniÃ¨res sirÃ¨nes (ou quoi que ce soit d'autre), elles seront les bienvenue.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hi everybody. I'm back again. I was cut off a month long and then very busy, no time to update my journal <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br />As you can see, I didn't have anytime too to draw or paint anything new. I feel old, now, and cannot find the time to do everything I would like to do: walks, painting, computer, garden, cooking, etc. I hope it will go better in a few months, when I'll stop working.<br /><br />Nevertheless, I began to do some watercolour paintings. I hope to finish them soon. They will be the first of a serial consecrated to... but it is a secret <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br /><br />See you later. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />____________________<br /><br />Bonjour tout le monde. Je suis de retour. J'ai Ã©tÃ© privÃ©e de connexion durant un mois, puis j'ai Ã©tÃ© trÃ¨s occupÃ©e, pas le temps de remettre Ã  jour mon journal <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br />Comme vous pouvez le constater, je n'ai pas eu non plus le temps pour dessiner ou peindre quoique ce soit de neuf. Je me sens vieille Ã  prÃ©sent, et je n'arrive plus Ã  trouver le temps de faire tout ce que j'aimerais faire: marcher, peindre, consulter mon PC, jardiner, cuisiner, etc. Cela devrait aller mieux j'espÃ¨re dans quelques mois, lorsque j'aurai arrÃªtÃ© de travailler.<br /><br />J'ai nÃ©anmoins commencÃ© quelques aquarelles que j'espÃ¨re finir sous peu. Ce seront les premiÃ¨res d'une sÃ©rie consacrÃ©es Ã  un sujet qui me tient Ã  coeur, mais, chut... c'est encore un secret <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br /><br />A bientÃ´t.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Since last Saturday, April 19th, 2008, all our parish (280 inhabitants, 50 web consumers) is cut off from any web connexion. <br /><br />This is due to a damaged phone line : neither the company owner of the line nor the  operator  want to repair it, both says it is the job of the other one.<br /><br />I donÂt know if there is any solution. For the moment, IÂm forced to use the connexions of my nephrews or some cybercafes. It is not easy, so please excuse me if I donÂt answer to all your kind comments and if I donÂt upload some new pictures for an unspecified time.<br /><br />IÂm cut off from the word. IÂm feeling horribly bad. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br /><br /><br />COUPEE DU MONDE<br /><br />Depuis samedi 19 Avril 2008, toute notre commune (280 habitants, dont 50 abonnÃ©s Ã  lÂinternet) ne dispose plus dÂaucune connexion au web. <br /><br />Cette situation est due Ã  la vÃ©tustÃ© des lignes tÃ©lephoniques du central de Martel (dont nous dependons) et Ã  une dÃ©tÃ©rioration supplÃ©mentaire due Ã  un engin dÂÃ©lagage, que ni France TÃ©lÃ©com ni Alsatis (notre opÃ©rateur obligatoire car le seul Ã  avoir acceptÃ© de desservir notre commune, trop peu peuplÃ©es pour Ãªtre rentable) nÂacceptent de reparer, chacun se renvoyant la balle. <br /><br />JÂignore pour le moment sÂil y a ou aura une solution Ã  notre problÃ¨me. Pour le moment, je suis dependante des connexions de mes neveux ou des rares cybercafÃ©s existant dans la rÃ©gion. Ce nÂest pas simple, donc excusez-moi si je ne me manifeste plus que rarement, pour une durÃ©e indÃ©terminÃ©e.<br /><br />Je me sens coupÃ©e du monde et, donc, assez mal. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm still busy, working on my children book and working outside. It's why you wouldn't have new original pictures for the moment.<br /><br />But you can see, now, the first pictures (already published on Elfwood) I did of a serial consecrated to the plants used by the witches for their potions. It was very fun and interresting to search the informations on the web and to illustrate them. Perhaps will I continue to complete this serial one day, in the purpose to do a book, I don't know. <br /><br />I hope you'll like them.<br /><br />_____________________________<br /><br /><br />Je suis toujours trÃ¨s occupÃ©e, entre mon travail habituel et le livre pour enfants que je suis en train de rÃ©aliser. C'est pourquoi vous ne verrez pas d'illustrations rÃ©centes ou originales pour l'instant.<br /><br />Mais je viens de publier dans cette galerie les premiers dessins (dÃ©jÃ  sur Elfwood) d'une sÃ©rie consacrÃ©e aux plantes utilisÃ©es par les sorciÃ¨res pour leurs potions. C'Ã©tait trÃ¨s amusant et instructif de rÃ©unir les infos sur le web. Je poursuivrai peut-Ãªtre un jour cette sÃ©rie, en vue d'en faire un autre livre, qui sait ? <br /><br />A bientÃ´t.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Sorry for this late journal: I had some problems with my connexion <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> solved now (I hope so...) <br /><br />I added some photos to my gallery 6 days ago, and Ill add a few more today. They are quite old: it is a long time I didn't have the time nor the desire to take photos anymore. But I still like them.<br /><br />I'm currently working on a children book called: "Crazy Wizard Castle", inspired by the picture of the same name I did (you can see it on this gallery, "Humour and Fancy" file). So, I don't have any time to draw and paint something else for the moment, all my time being consecrated to the 12 illustrations (+ the cover) of my book (4 done). They'll no be published here, of course, I'll show them to some publishers, in a first time! <br /><br />So, please be patient. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br /><br /><br /><br />FRANCAIS:<br /><br />DÃ©solÃ©e d'avoir tant tardÃ© Ã  mettre mon journal Ã  jour: j'ai eu quelques problÃ¨mes de connexion <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> Ã  prÃ©sent rÃ©solus (du moins, je l'espÃ¨re...)<br /><br />J'ai ajoutÃ© quelques photos Ã  ma galerie il y a 6 jours, et je compte en rajouter quelques unes aujourd'hui. Elles ne sont pas trÃ¨s rÃ©centes:  Ã§a fait un moment que je n'ai plus eu ni le loisir ni le dÃ©sir de prendre d'autres photos. Mais je les aime toujours.<br /><br />Je suis en train de travailler sur un livre pour enfants intitulÃ©: "Le ChÃ¢teau Fou du Sorcier Fou", inspirÃ© par la peinture "Crazy Wizard Castle" que j'ai rÃ©alisÃ©e il y a 2 ou 3 ans et qui figure dans ma galerie (dossier: "Humour and Fancy"). C'est pourquoi je n'ai plus le temps de peindre quoi que ce soit d'autre pour le moment, tout mon temps Ã©tant consacrÃ© Ã  rÃ©aliser les 12 illustrations (+ la couverture) de mon histoire (dont 4 achevÃ©es). Je ne vous les prÃ©senterai pas ici, bien sÃ»r: mon objectif Ã©tant d'essayer de faire publier mon livre!<br /><br />Donc, soyez patients <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> <br /><br />A bientÃ´t.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've upload today the pictures I did a few years ago on tiles with Âthermo-hardering water based colorsÂ. I already like the way they turned out, even if I studied the real great art of earthenware (hight fire) some times after this experiment. <br />
<br />
I hope you'll like them.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ After "Tolkiendil", after "Elfwood", now it is done: I got my gallery on "deviantART" and I'm so proud and happy! <br />
<br />
I must, before all, thank my friend Janna Prosvirina for her valuable help in this enterprise.<br />
<br />
But, please, be patient. My gallery will develop with the time, even if, in a first time (and mostly by the fault of my bad understanding of English), it could seem a bit untidy...<br />
<br />
Most of these pictures were already published on Elfwood. But I will surely add some of my no fantasy genre pictures when I'll get some free time.<br />
<br />
So, please, look at my gallery and (I hope so) enjoy <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>
