La secrète



"La secrète" était mon mon endroit favori lorsque j'étais petite. J'y allais souvent avec ma petite soeur Ariane et mon père qui nous racontait toutes sortes d'histoires fantastiques! C'est a l'orée de la foret derrière ma maison au Quebec.
J'adorais m'imaginer que j'étais la seule personne au monde a connaitre cet endroit!!

"La secrète" was my favorite place when I was a little girl. I used to go there with my dad and my young sister Ariane. It's at the entrance of the forest behind my home in Quebec.
I loved to think I was the only person in the world to know that place!!

Hi Geneviève!
That is a very beatuful piece, I love the cool colors you used, they really come together nicely.
And it makes it even a better piece of artwork when there is a story behind it that you experienced.
Your work is most inspiring!

Boum said...

Très joli... un peu sombre peut-être, j'arrive pas à voir toutes les subtilités, j'comprends que c'est l'atmosphère qu'il devait y avoir dans la secrète :)
