suivant des cours de peintures je fais actuellement un tableau de botero " the firts lady"
j'avais besoin de me plonger dans son univers très particulier mais très intérressant
j'adore le regard qu'il a sur les femmes en particulier les rondeurs "qui de nos jours avec les bimbos de la télé " ne sont pas à la mode
en plus certains de ses tableaux ont des couleurs magnifiques
