Description
Portrait of Jacques Brel, Belgian singer-songwriter and poet. (1929-1978)
English translations of his songs were recorded by many top performers in the United States, including Ray Charles, Judy Collins, John Denver, the Kingston Trio, Nina Simone, Frank Sinatra, Scott Walker, and Andy Williams.
I always seem to get a bit homesick with the end of the year, so this is for `Le Plat Pays Qui est le Mien`
`Avec des cath�drales pour uniques montagnes
Et de noirs clochers comme m�ts de cocagne
O� des diables en pierre d�crochent les nuages
Avec le fil des jours pour unique voyage
Et des chemins de pluie pour unique bonsoir
Avec le vent d�ouest �coutez-le vouloir
Le plat pays qui est le mien
Avec un ciel si bas qu�un canal s�est perdu
Avec un ciel si bas qu�il fait l�humilit�
Avec un ciel si gris qu�un canal s�est pendu
Avec un ciel si gris qu�il faut lui pardonner`
So there`s my inspiration for the sombre colour pallet, grey for the Flemish sky and Gauloises Bleues for his cigarettes.
Christel.

Even if I didn't love the art work - which I do very much - I'd have fallen for your title which reminds me of Edith Piaf. But the artwork is brilliant and a perfect tribute to this amazing talent. F/L T
