MY PAINTER FRIEND, YVAN...

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY
FRIENDS... known him since 1964.
He arrived with a big hold-all filled with hats.
No, Not an actor, my friend is a painter who loves his headgear.
YVAN le FORTUNETELLER
Don't ask me where he got this hat from, but needless to say there was a lot of laughter going on.
As you see, he was very straight faced, telling me all the things that would happen in my future, none of which came true, except that I had found the love of my life, Paul and that there were other men in my life... indeed, my sons, and two fantastic male friends, one of which he was one...
You didn't have to be a clairvoyant, nor need a crystal ball to see that.
All the different hats also meant shifting the light settings, each time a new challenge, a new exercise.
Paul shot B&W, I did colour, all on film, Nikon F4
YVAN le TRAPPER, YVAN le TERRIBLE and YVAN the ASCETIC...
He spent a lot of time in France over the years.
As a young artist, he transformed a van into a camper van, drove all through Europe and North-Africa.
When he saw something inspiring, he’d climb on top of his van and paint until it was finished or dark.
In the South of France he encountered a French lady of the aristocracy, she taught him a lot about pigments, making your own paints, painting with your hands and palette knives.
He would tell me about the gorgeous smells of linseed oil, resin, right down to Indian cow’s urine.
A joy to have in the studio.
From the series: Ex- and impressions.
THANK YOU, M, (*_*)
