I spent a few weeks with some of the living surrealists in Paris a number of years ago and it was fascinating. Their lives reflected so much of this dreamy quality...and nudist camps, big revolutionary kitchens, and lots of flirting.

I really love that Rousseau painting. It's so peaceful. The woman feels SAFE. She has bare feet, she is full of color, she has all she needs and she rests in the protection of the lion. I admit that I have always had a weird reaction to Picasso, I can't explain why I am just pushed away from his paintings. the first and third paintings my mind can't grasp. But that last one, the blue landscape, has an immense depth of feeling.
