I am an Irishman, you can decide if the word artist applies. I live in Brittany on the edge of Europe where I have a shop selling Irish and other high quality wearing apparel. I am a watercolorist who has the chance to exposes his work in Saint-Malo and I paint views of the sea and a sea faring people who live here amongst other things.
An Irishman who paints and writes, music, poetry and painting are the trinity of my happiness. If you like my paintings then buy one at www.yessy.com/ericduhan.
it's always nice to get feedback so feel free to say what you think.
Each year in July /early August we have the "Music Festival" which brings together orchestras and choirs in various states of readiness, if you get my meaning. The one constant is Herr Brall of Dusseldorf who with a rod of iron cajols and teases the best sound from a wonderful collection of guy's and doll's of various ages from his home city and environs. The musicians come to St-Malo as much out of respect from Herr Dr. Brall as for the money. Many bring their families and indeed several have kith and kin who sing in the choir. They also come because they like the beach and the sea and when you visit the landlocked city you understand why. St-Malo opens its gates from this group each year and is rearly if ever decived by the results of the work put in.
I hope one day the city authorities realise the great good done by this man and his group and make an effort to recognise the fact with a Legion d'honneur, or at least the medal offered to many by the Ministry of Culture.
Herr Brall is a huge man with a huge ability to bring happiness to others. I hope he shall continue to come here for as long as he wants. I for one will be always happy to see him.
