Anyone who's stepped foot into the pad I inhabit has likely left under the assumption that I'm an art lover - it's true, I love and live for art- my favourite paintings and photographs peer at me no matter where I sit. So I guess it makes sense that I would gab about them. So here's my first stab at this thing called 'BLOG'...from a TartanFrog (refering to my Caper roots and Acadian frogness). My aim here will be to try to post a new artistic inspiration twice a week that you might use to spur on some writing. I wrote my first novel while staring at a charcoal drawing my friend Heather gave me. Ah yes, I will include a brief 'about' the art also. ABOUT 'Baile': Btw, for anyone wondering, yes, the word 'baile' means 'dance' from the Spanish 'bailar' or 'to dance'. This is one of my favourite paintings by Diego Rivera. Though not as well known as many others, it has been close to my heart this week as I've been writing about the dance and the dancer. I felt compelled to re-write the ending of my second novel to show the growth of the main protagonist, Sabine. She reflects on the madness in the world of her contemporaries (she is 18 years old in the year 2019). It seems to her that everyone is bustling about so much and that all this fidgeting, whether it be globe-trotting, changing jobs and lovers, is symptomatic of a lack of connectedness. She compares it to a French dance move known as 'chasse-croise'...Over to you: Happy Scribing, TartanFrog
