3 butterflies seen in Cam Valley spring 2011-work in progress + letter

.............2 paintings -extracts from a letter I received from John Berger - Quinsey Mieussy 74440 Tanginges France 13 / 6 / 11 '' Dear Judy - You say : please write if you are able . But the thing is I have to reply ! .............................. ..................................................................................................................................................... The links with Spinoza and Bomberg are deep and light ............................................................. I guess you are too young to have known him as I did. Unlike Spinoza he was possessed. I love Stolen Air and the 3 butterflies. I would love to see one of your paintings . To hear it ( her? him? ) breathing. I love their precision - like the precision birds have when flying. Do you know the poetry of Yannis Ritsos ..........along with Elytiss and Cavafy ? Ritsos wrote : '' Poems are great rivers - they never stop flowing before they meet the sea ......'' This is true of your paintings With love John ............''
