This pomegranate tree is part of a big mural in the hallway of a Bel Air residence.
It was done completely in Old World style, featuring an Italian landscape, trees, cypresses, lemons, grapes and flowers.
The background is like a faux finish, subtle colors and fading. It reminds of the Da Vinci times when the world was calmer and more relaxed.
The sleeping angel is part of a very romantic mural featuring one of greatest  European ballerinas.
In-midst a French old world landscape the angel has no intentions, no interference – it is pure - it is a forgotten part of a world which was full of detail, romance and love.
If I could go back in time I would go back when life was easier and you could find the love for details everywhere. If you see the Ballerina on my website you will understand…
A 17th century mural after the painting of Nicholas Lancret (1690-1743). Let’s become romantic… 
The angel is sleeping – tranquility is the keyword.
The landscape is growing, more trees and bushes. Roses around the angel – it’s timeless. No need to rush. Tranquility.
A girl – still in no motion. Flower in her hair. A little smile…
The star, the highlight of the mural is beginning to come into existence. It’s a beautiful lady…
Here she is:
Mademoiselle Marie de Camargo. One of the first famous ballerinas in Europe. She might have been forgotten but when I found her it made me feel happy. She is history. She is wonderful. She is dancing forever…
