Oil on canvas \u2013 8,66 x 10,63 inch \u2013 Unique work<\/em><\/p>\n Damn, I just <\/span>broke my fruit basket. A legacy of my great grandmother. I don\u2019t know what happened. I wanted to take it out of the buffet. My cell phone rang. And as <\/span>I am desperate <\/span>for a <\/span>potential<\/span> phone call, an answer <\/span>regarding a future<\/span> exhibition in an art gallery in New York. <\/span>My fingers are crossed. I must admit it would mean the world to me<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Waiting for \u2026 Godot ! The basket is <\/span>badly knocked about<\/span> and my lemons <\/span>look ashamed<\/span>. I put them on the kitchen table. Yellow and gr<\/span>e<\/span>y, it’s <\/span>a perfect<\/span> match! As I look at the whole thing, <\/span>just<\/span> like th<\/span>at<\/span>, halfway t<\/span>o the twilight zone<\/span>, <\/span>hundreds<\/span> of memories jostle in my head.<\/span><\/p>\n It’s summer time. I am approximately ten years old. I spend holidays in Brittany by the sea in the family house on my father’s side. His grandmother is still alive. Bossy, obviously, but sweet Grand-Ma too. I particularly remember her lemon pie. A recipe passed down from mother to daughter and granddaughter and great granddaughter.<\/p>\n By the way, do you know how to keep a secret? I am sure you do. So here it is:<\/p>\n I<\/span>ngredients It’s been so long since I <\/span>last had a slice<\/span>. Since … The last time was for my 15<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> birthday<\/span> at the end of July. And Grand-Ma <\/span>died<\/span> a few <\/span>days <\/span>later<\/span>. A <\/span>huge<\/span> sadness the<\/span>n<\/span> invaded me for months. H<\/span>er<\/span> own daughter, my gra<\/span>nny<\/span>, <\/span>in fact<\/span>, <\/span>brought me back to<\/span> life and <\/span>mostly accept<\/span> death, by offering me the recipe for Christmas <\/span>with<\/span> a letter written by Grand-Ma <\/span>herself especially for me<\/span>. A <\/span>flood<\/span> of tears followed. A <\/span>deep<\/span> emotion still gripping me today as I remove the lemon pie from the oven. It is <\/span>perfectly browned<\/span>. I <\/span>can\u2019t wait<\/span> any longer. I take a picture and send it to my father with a wink smiley.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oil on canvas \u2013 8,66 x 10,63 inch \u2013 Unique work Damn, I just broke my fruit basket.
