- Caro Marcel!
Io parlo e scrivo il francese, per averlo imparato a scuola; ma è preferibile che ognuno parli la propria lingua, senza mescolarle, in modo che ognuno appranda sempre qualcosa dall'altro. I tuoi quadri mi piacciono e potrei scrivere una recensione per la rivista Boè oppure per l'annuario Elite. Ti è piaciuto il mio doppio omaggio? Rispondimi alla mia e-mail: gianni.latronico@libero.it con tanti cari saluti

- Caro Marcel!
Al principio io ero un pittore figurativo e trascorrevo tutto il mio tempo a dipingere ritraendo la realtà effettiva; quando la realtà è diventata troppo crudele nei miei confronti, portandomi via mio figlio Denis, neticinquenne, allora ho cambiato rotta. Mi sono rifugiato nella perfezione della tecnologia, nella mlia dell'informale e nel sogno del surreale. Mi servo delle mie foto figurative, per creare quadri astratti, onirici, virtuali senza pennelli nè tavolozza, senza vendere nè comprare, senza dare nè ricevere. Ora voglio fare un omaggio alle tue opere digitali che potrai vedere qui tra un'ora circa. Tanti cari saluti da Gianni

- That was a good story! Yes, I think framers are great, after doing it ourselves a few times you find out how difficult a job it is, especially if you don't have all the tools & workspace. Yes, the floating frame is the same thing Dennis puts on the back of the Masonite.

- Marcel, Dennis creates a box with 1 inch strips of wood, then glues it to the back of the Masonite -- it sets the painting out from the wall -- is that basically what you are talking about with a "floating frame"? There are some instances when the frame actually 'brings out' the beauty of the painting. I watched a show on PBS on framing one time and they were saying the price of the frame should be the same amount as the painting -- I cannot say I agree with that! Linda

- Marcel, I am glad you enjoyed seeing Dennis' paintings and you should enjoy working on Masonite -- if you want the texture, you can use the "back" & if you paint on the other side ("front") you must sand it some so the paint doesn't slide around! The really nice thing about it is cutting it to fit any odd sized frames you might find. Are you painting today? Whatever you are doing, enjoy! Linda

- Marcel, that's great! I love music, but I do not play anything, and I am not much of a singer, either. My son, Sean, plays bass, guitar & keyboards & writes some of his own songs. My dad was a good singer, too -- he was in a barbershop quartet for awhile. My husband is an artist also. If you would like to see some of his creations, you can look at: www.yessy.com/tawesstudio and check them out. Have a great day! Linda

- Thank you for my birthday message. I really like your paintings, they are quite colorful. What instrument do you play for your music?
