Probably over twenty long years, in other words a lifetime. I close my eyes and I still remember that woman&#8217;s face, her shining smile, her overflowing joie de vivre, her four children whom she raised with a beating voice. And if I concentrate enough, I hear his voice.<\/p>\n<p>I met her a couple of times a year at her sister and brother-in-law\u2019s house for her nieces birthday, their communion also. Oh, I almost forgot her thunderous laughter. They would bring back anyone to life. I can fully guarantee my speech. I waited eagerly for her dramatic entrance, her husband, as her shadows, anxious, in front of this brilliant woman.<\/p>\n<p>She could sew, sing, play the piano. Each party took on a festive air. She also loved literature, sharp on many subjects. She was, no in fact she is a woman \u2026<\/p>\n<p>What has become of her? I haven\u2019t got a clue. And what if she had become a happy grandmother, a young active retiree, an involved person in her neighborhood. Or, an exile in a tiny piece of land of Scotland, which I love, to spend quiet days far from the Paris crowd and the family torments of a clan.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the flower, and its spectral guardian angel watching over it, I like to think that my Daisy has the same protection. May the sun warm her cold days, may the rain save her pretty hazel eyes, or green? I don\u2019t really remember. It&#8217;s crazy how memory plays tricks. May happiness enters her daily life, just enough to make the worries of life bearable.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m certainly boring you with this so personal story. Memories that come back, an embellished tale, as often when it appeals to memory. The latter necessarily plays tricks. A slight tendency to select the best moments, to ignore tensions, to magnify a soul, to &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>But what is it about exactly? I really enjoyed painting this daisy that once lived in my garden in the center of France and I found myself wandering, telling a story.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oil on canvas \u2013 10,63 x 18,11 inch \u2013 Unique work No, as far as I\u2019m concerned, this word doesn\u2019t remind me of a flower but rather a name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=406"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":416,"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406\/revisions\/416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
