Sweet shapes of Playfulness Sweet and irresistible like honey. That is what patterns are to me. The simple joy of repetition is such a profound pleasure, I can never have enough of it. This facade pattern I captured in Paris - near Rosa Parks Station. It reminds me of the shape puzzles my children used to make as toddlers. Cherished memories by association. #paulbrouns #saatchiart #theotherartfair (bij Rosa Parks (Paris RER)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpS_yCWsjly/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Taste of Summer (from a sketchbook) – Pencil, ink, watercolor – 8.5 x 11 inches.
A famous song begins with the following lines:
“Just about a year ago
I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune
Lookin' for a pot of gold
Things got bad and things got worse
I guess you’ll know the tune. . .”
I’m guessing that even though you may have forgotten the first six lines of the tune, you will not have forgotten the last:
“Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again.”
Creedence Clearwater Revival’s 1969 song made Lodi, California feel to me like one of the circles of Hell. But there are worse places in this world to be stuck in: Spokane, Washington, Broma, Sweden, and just about anywhere in Texas come immediately to mind.
At least Lodi has some excellent wineries, especially if you fancy bold reds. This watercolor shows the tasting room of one of them. At first sight it felt dark and imposing, but it’s dramatic and I thought it showed an imaginative use of space. I didn’t paint it to advertise the winery or the city; it just happened to appear during the travels of some friends spending a beautiful day in the pleasant company of Dionysus.
That was a while ago. Today, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, it’s the middle of March, the middle of Lent, and many of us feel stuck. We may be finished with Winter, but Winter has not finished with us. Rain and snow are predicted to visit us, yet again, by the end of the week.
So as an act of public service, here’s an image of a sunny afternoon in June that just happened to be in Lodi. Yes, Summer will arrive, no matter where we happen to feel stuck.
