French art

Something about french art is really intriguing. I am playing a french peice on the piano right now, and I've been playing it for months and I still don't feel done. It is hard to explain. Same with this book. The illustrations have enchanted me since I was a little girl. Something about the light. Technically this was painted by a French-Canadian artist, but that adds a rugged touch. Anyway, I really really like this peice and the poem that inspired it is very very metaphorical and also a beautiful and haunting fairy tale, so it works.
