 just strolling in the streets.
 Part of my soul lives in Paris!

APRIL IN PARIS, 2019 1

Dear loyal followers & everyone who happens upon this Blog:

Even though I am so sporadic with my postings I do hope that you will forgive me & NOT GIVE UP on "SHARE ART"! The post today is part one of "APRIL IN PARIS, 2019".
  I so hope that you will find it was worth the wait.  Please let me know in the COMMENTS whether you enjoy it or not!
PARIS WILL ALWAYS BE PARIS FOR ME NO MATTER THE CHANGES!
Some of you may be aware that I lived in Paris for a few yrs. in the 80's.  "I (have) always returned "no matter how it was changed or with what difficulties, or ease, it could be reached. Paris was always worth it."! 

 You probably have seen some of the following quotes from Ernest Hemingway's 'A Moveable Feast':

"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast."

"There is never any ending to Paris and the memory of each person who has lived in it differs from that of any other. We always returned to it no matter who we were or how it was changed or with what difficulties, or ease, it could be reached. Paris was always worth it and you received return for whatever you brought to it. But this is how Paris was in the early days when we were very poor and very happy."

Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

So "feast" on the following images from my recent "APRIL IN PARIS"! More to follow SOON, I promise! :-)

With love,

Rivian xoxo

GAYLE TAUBER, INSPIRATIONAL ARTIST!

My ART focus has recently been on WOMEN leaders who have inspired me – those people who have contributed to transformational changes in our civil rights history, specifically the African-American, Chicano, and Feminist ART movements. (a few examples below) I have just begun four new paintings, a group homage to the strong & inspirational WOMEN ARTISTS who were pioneers in the Abstract ART movement of the 20th Century.
