***
The Bouquinistes of Paris, France, are booksellers of used and antiquarian books who ply their trade along large sections of the banks of the Seine: on the right bank from the Pont Marie to the Quai du Louvre, and on the left bank from the Quai de la Tournelle to Quai Voltaire. The Seine is thus described as 'the only river in the world that runs between two bookshelves'.[1]

TULIP DAYS AND CHOCOLATE LIPS

SIZE: 20 X 50 CM
PAPER:  guardi artistico 300 g/m² 

Watercolor experiments with spring flowers and moor lye in a very loose way. Moor lye is a bath
additive, pure nature sold in pharmacies. It can be used in varied degrees.
Meanwhile fixed with hairspray, you can also wash out it perfect. Excellent combined with watercolors, you can reach a depth and structure, which is comparable to nothing. These are my very first steps, but you can be sure, more will follow.

 "DANCES WITH THE DAFFODILS ... "

watercolor with salt effects
SIZE: 20 X 50 CM 
PAPER: GUARDI ARTISTICO - TORCHON - 300 g/m2




I wandered lonely as a Cloud


I wandered lonely as a Cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and Hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden Daffodils;
Beside the Lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:-
A Poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company:
I gazed---and gazed---but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude,
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the Daffodils.


William Wordsworth (2.Version)
Published in Collected Poems, 1815
