#LitsyCrafters @Catsandbooks another painting done with the inspiration from a card from @CoffeeNBooks
An artist living on an isolated island off the coast of Brittany just before WWI is visited by an eminent art critic, who used to be his mentor and now wants his portrait painted.
A series of monologues from the artist to the sitter while he's painting explore what has brought them that point. Although the ending is fairly predictable early on it is only in the last 30 pages that we learn the motivation behind it. Something of a tour de force.
A delightful mystery with a difference. Who is the fictional author. I really enjoyed. A lovely escape.
The Monet exhibit was wonderful!
I hated this.
