"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Feat.

Gauguin, Vase of Flowers, 1886


In 1973, 
I set my brain back to 1915 and I managed to remember 
flowers -– and paint them –- as I had seen them then. 
Quite a feat. 
And the flowers were fresher.
