I feel honoured to be in the company of such wonderful artists. The horn player you have may be Julia Studebaker, then solo horn of the Concertgebouw Orchestra.

My mom Laurose just passed (my Dad Burton passed 5 years ago). My parents had two or your works. A lady playing a French horn and a landscape. Anyway, my sister and I were chatting about the art and the artists they'd accumulated. Your works were in good company including a Nathan Oliveira, a Calder and a Miro!

Her father was the painter Raymond de Botton and they lived in Saanen, next to Gstaad. Other Russians that she knew in Gstaad at the time included Dmitri Nabokov. It was a village full of fascinating people at the time, Krishnamurti, Menhuin, Nathan Milstein, William F Buckley. It is a very different story to today. More recently of course Balthus lived nearby in his beautiful Grand Chalet in Rossiniere, and again she had tea with him at his home shortly before he died around 1999.

Huge congratulations on your many inspiring...Norman<br />Huge congratulations on your many inspiring years of creativity. Your work is original, lyrical, and engaging. <br />Typically, you credit all your good fortune, histories, and the wonderful Mrs. Cave but you do not mention, most humbly, what is also your great contribution: that is your gift as an innovative and aware educator, vanguard of the International Baccalaureate Diploma and generous, sympathetic teacher and examiner. You were the light we all held ourselves to shine as brightly. Your years of contributions to the program both molded it’s future and provided a sterling, intelligent, flexible approaches to assessing international fine art instruction and assessment. That was your gift to thousands of I. B. Visual Arts students. You are a gift to all the creative art tutors who had the fortune to share in your innovative and instructive workshops and lectures.<br />For me personally and fortunately you were also a supportive friend. You helped me generously when I lived in The Netherlands with my British MA Fine Art thesis and acclamation to a new environment. I am lucky to have one of your paintings but the fortune of knowing. working and learning from is my greatest treasure, Happy Birthday, dear Norman, Thank You for all you are.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782138671916303805.post-39373186331529615372023-06-26T11:55:38.925+02:002023-06-26T11:55:38.925+02:00Thank you so much Neil!Thank you so much Neil!Norman Perrymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18390097415468653932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782138671916303805.post-46760384557843483572023-06-25T23:13:35.835+02:002023-06-25T23:13:35.835+02:00Norman, You are such a fantastic talent, an artist...Norman, You are such a fantastic talent, an artistic legend, and a really lovely man. It was such a wonderful thing for Christine and I to share some time, laughter and personal stories with you in Amsterdam the other week, and thank you very much for that incredible opportunity. What a treat! We are so glad to have met you, we are big fans of your work, and we absolutely treasure our copies of your limited edition signed prints of your utterly brilliant and so musical art. Never meet your heroes? Glad we did! Happy 90th Birthday, friend.

Gustav Holst would, no doubt, have loved these too given that my favourite masterpiece of his 'The Planets' is all about descriptions of the personality traits of mankind (and himself) reflected in the astrological descriptions of the planets (as per Alan Leo's various early 20th-century books on casting a horoscope of which Holst was a fan). Personally, I have to admit that I'm somewhat cynical about horoscopes ... but then as a Cancerian, I would say that, wouldn't I!Neil A.
