LE JARDIN TABLEAU

Mona Braathen-Robert

THE GARDEN PAINTINGS

Mona Braathen-Robert : Emmanuel Besnard, jardinnier &
Xavier Marié, ingénieur paysagiste.

************************************************************************

ANOTHER NEIGHBOR,
NEIGHBORS and
a countryman!

The Norwegian painter Mona Braathen-Robert,
settled in Tosny, near Giverny in Normandy, participates in the
International Garden Festival
of Chaumont-sur-Loire until October 18th, 2009.
Since 1992, this Garden Festival constitutes
a amazing panorama of the state of
the art of the landscape creation in the world.

MONA is the wife of the architect Philippe Robert of the agency
Reichen et Robert, which is the creator of the
Museum of American Art Giverny.
In the garden of this museum works Emmanuel Besnard, the true Elf of the garden! One of my pupils is MIREILLE LE BAIL, Madam Elf of the garden, and it is thus thanks to her that I know all the secrets of gardens in GIVERNY... THANK YOU my sunshine !

MONA was inspired by her paintings to create
a garden consisting only of flowers, a "garden painting".
She explains that in the Chinese language, a single word,
hoa, indicates the act of painting and
the one of drawing the limits of a field and that,
according to her, the creation of
a painting and that of a garden proceed of the same logic.

She so wished to create a contemplative garden,
similar to the gardens of Zen temples,
which will evolve according to
the periodic replacement of flowers and
will offer several compositions on the same subject,
making of this work a real palimpsest, pictorial and landscaped.

ENCORE UN VOISIN,
DES VOISINS et
un compatriote !

L'artiste peintre norvégienne
Mona Braathen-Robert,
installée à Tosny, près de Giverny en Normandie, participe au
Festival International des Jardins,
Chaumont-sur-Loire jusqu'au 18 octobre 2009.
Depuis 1992, le Festival des jardins constitue un panorama étonnant de
l’état de la création paysagère dans le monde.

MONA est la femme de l'architechte Philippe ROBERT
de l’agence Reichen et Robert, qui est
le créateur du Musée d’Art Américain à Giverny.
Dans le jardin de ce musée travaille Emmanuel Besnard, un véritable Elfe des jardins ! Une de mes élèves est MIREILLE LE BAIL, Madame Elfe des jardins, et c'est donc grâce à elle que je connais tout ces secrets des jardins à GIVERNY ... MERCI ma soleil !

MONA s’est inspirée de ses peintures pour créer
un jardin composé uniquement de fleurs, un « jardin tableau ».
Elle explique que dans la langue chinoise, un seul mot, hoa,
désigne l’acte de peindre et celui de tracer les limites d’un champ et que, selon elle, la création d’un tableau et
celle d’un jardin procèdent de la même logique.

Elle a ainsi souhaité créer un jardin contemplatif,
comme le sont les jardins des temples Zen,
qui évoluera au gré du remplacement périodique des fleurs et
offrira plusieurs compositions sur un même thème,
faisant de ce travail un véritable palimpseste pictural et paysager.

HAPPY studio karius de parius

Y I P P I !

! 1 year | 1 an !

Mmmmm, I had one of those good times!


After noon tea, but instead of tea, I proposed the more Norman APPLE cider!
Le verger de Giverny is in the neighborhood, and I love it!

http://giverny.org/restos/verger/verger.htm

Everything was nice and ready!
I had prepared 1 APPLE cake, 1 carrot cake with the guardian bunny of my little Maja and
one of those fluffy Norwegian 'bløtekake' with
the strawberry jam of my Branka Mother in law and

sugared lavender candies on top. This little decoration tree is always in my studio!D

I also asked the local bakery to convoy me those lovely French 'macaroons' !

...café, vanilla, blueberry & chocolate.
The roses came from my sweetest sister in law. BISOUS Affi!

The kids had candy's and balloons à la gogo! C'était là fête !

Thank you for those of you who shared this moment with me!

Catherine & Nico, 'Les Caloquets d'Elle' - CHAPEAUX !
... toujours là pour l'art et la création - enchanté !
Catherine is a local modist, she makes these lovely textile creations,
she even joined me @ the etsy meeting in Paris,
I can't wait to see her etsy shop! (even in French Cathy!D)

Anic: the MASTER of salty cakes!
...pear, walnut, Gruyère cheese and blue cheese.
She also spend two days with me in the studio before the vacations.
I can't wait to see her MASTER work finish in some weeks.

Yvonne is the 'PRINCESS' of FOURGES, she grew up in The Castle!
When the Germans came invading their house,
she scared the s*** out of them : spooky!D
Today she lives with PLENTY of cats around here (50). She's the co-funder of this cat-foundation,
L'ecole de chats, and a local heroine. She still biked around when I arrived some few years ago!
She even survived when her house went up in fire! Sacre cœur !

Thx also to the Duvivier family,
3 kiddy's and always such sweeties!

Nicole even brought with her a treasure,
one of those e-PINGLEs : the human canon man!


No I can't wait to go back in business to prepare for
exhibitions to come and
also to freshen up my etsy shop!
See you soon!

HAPPY visit @ my place!!!
