When I left my heart in San Francisco
Painted on canvas! My few paintings on canvas, 1996 in the beautiful city of San Francisco, the Leland Hotel @ Bush/Polk. The Hotel was nice, classic San Francisco style, affordable monthly rates, and a very polite receptionist: Bruce, where is he now?
Not an easy task to paint in a small Hotel room. Size 3:2

Guess what! I've just finished painting on canvas! I did a few paintings on canvas back in 1996 in the beautiful city of San Francisco, at the Leland Hotel @ Bush/Polk. The hotel was lovely, with a classic San Francisco style, affordable monthly rates, and a very polite receptionist: Bruce, where is he now?

The Half Centipede Fun
122x81cm, 3:2, on paper
Centipedes (Class Chilopoda) are fast-moving venomous, predatory, terrestrial arthropods that have long bodies and many jointed legs.
To paint these paintings was my hardest paint job! 2 paint centipedes is hard work. I begged them to hold still, that I haven't finished his leg # 957, just a few brush strokes more, but they just crawled away. No respect to the fine arts.

2004 Best Of Cranberries, Zombie
The Cranberries - Zombie
The song was released in September 1994. Around this time I arrived by AA from LHR-SFO with the first flight from London. There were two flights daily, LHR-SFO. I arrived early at my Leland Hotel @ Bush/Polk. After showering, straight to Van Ness St into a big box store (The Good Guys ?? Today gone) and I bought a small boom box at The Good Guys. Yes, I buy small boomboxes in big box stores. Yes, I buy small boomboxes in big box stores. Went back to my hotel room, unbacked the radio and searched a rock AM station. And here turning the knob and searching, a DJ announced this band and this song: Right away a loud intro, fast and furious, an energy driven guitar. I never heard of
The Cranberries
before. I stayed hooked to
The Cranberries
and Dolores O'Riordan. I never forgot that moment, never happened again, brand-new radio, listening to first song on and smashes your exception, hopes and impressions. Dolores O'Riordan, what a songwriter. Thank you, Lady and
The Cranberries.
10 years later, in 2004, I bought
Best Of Cranberries, Zombie
Similar happened to me with Helter Skelter by the Beatles, Smashing Pumpkins, The Pixies.

These incredible paintings are from 1999 and are already classics in my mind! They have the most beautiful brushstrokes, and when I painted them, they made my day! Just one or two on your wall would make your year!

Ferdinand Hodler, Vineyard Walking
Last Pit stop before the Freeway or Train going home. Unpack your picnic, your bottle of St.Saphorin wine, two real wineglasses and not plastic cups, a small Swiss army knife with a corkscrew, don't worry about the freeway and rest forever. Unless you spot this classy old boat from 1906 passing by, then hurry up and catch it at Rivaz. These old ships on Lake Geneva have so much style and class, and their restaurants are great. Rest there forever.

This is it! The last pit stop before you head home. Whether you're taking the freeway or the train, it's time to start your journey back. It's time to unpack your picnic, open a bottle of St. Saphorin wine, and enjoy it with two real wine glasses, not plastic cups! Don't forget to pack a small Swiss army knife with a corkscrew. The freeway is no longer an issue, so you can rest easy and relax forever. But wait, there's more! Keep your eyes peeled for this classy old boat from 1906 passing by. If you spot it, hurry up and catch it at Rivaz. These old ships on Lake Geneva are absolutely stunning, and their restaurants are incredible. You'll never want to leave!
This walk is beautiful. The night before it snowed again on the alps, you can see it on the pictures across Lake Geneva. And this at the beginning of June. It's all relaxing, at the same time you exercise your body and your mind just cools down. The food, the wine, the croissant, the coffee, all is enjoyable. My Walking tour was: Puidoux-Chexbres-St.Saphorin-Rivaz- Chexbres.
The main reason I walked this beauty are the Paintings by Ferdinand Hodler, painted from near Chexbres. I want to find his painting spot.
Le point d'observation se trouve à environ un quart d'heure de Chexbres, qui est situé à 650 mètres d'altitude, non loin de Vevey. Hodler peint en 1895 cette première version du Lac Léman vu de Chexbres.
