The fantastic art of Gil Bruvel

I would like to bring your attention to this artist. I think the work is amazing. Somewhat reminiscent of Dali, but the artist is undoubtedly in a league of his own!

Don Simon Art - Mesmerizing

Every so often I come across an artist whose work I gravitate to. Don Simon is such an artist.
He works in color pencil, and takes it to a whole new level. What I love is his subject matter and the surreal images that pull me in and make me think and wonder. I find myself totally mesmerized.

Here is one of his pieces

Memories of Provence

I'd be leisurely walking back to my gite, taking my time, sitting under trees and chewing on small blades of grass while looking up in to the sky. After a while I put my watercolor pad under my arm, smiling from ear to ear, hurrying just a bit, to get home just before dark. A light gust of wind separates me from my straw hat, and blows it just across the row of lavender behind me. I Leave it without worry, knowing it will still be there tomorrow, I'll fetch it then when I come back. Back in my gite, I'd eat something simple, break little pieces off freshly baked baguette, I love that crunchy noise it makes, remembering my grandmother, who like me, loved plain bread and a glass of wine. Later I'd fall in to bed, thinking about how lucky I am, to be in this heavenly place. ~~~~~ The next day I do it all over, walking on air, free in the countryside among the wild lavender and olive trees.
