Versace Retrospective, Musée Maillol, Painting Greens 🥬

 

This weekend I was going away to paint greens 🥬 

But fate 🌞 intervened, canceled my train 🚊 and I went to the VERSACE Retrospective instead.

I’m painting GREENS + red hearts ❤️ at home 🏡 

The red hearts ❤️ come from  

Versace's obsession 

With artist JIM DINE heart ♥️ paintings.

But I’m jumping ahead of the story.

Gianni Versace was born in Reggio di Calabria in 1946,

Son of a seamstress 🧵 and an appliance shop owner. At 9 years old he designed his first dress for his mother’s shop.

Their home was set near ancient Greek ruins and a Greek temple, 

Later to play such an important role
