Christmas in Paris 2024: Vincent’s Gift
As many of you know, every year Vincent creates a special art piece for me every Christmas, and I am always so moved and inspired by it.
I always say each year he outdoes himself, and this year was no different. The first part of the gift came in a red Plexiglas box and inside was a photo that a friend of ours took last year in New York, of us hugging after we hadn’t seen each other in many weeks. The photo opened like an accordion with images on both sides. The second image is a quote from Walt Whitman and there were 6 other images after that. The second part of the gift was another red Plexiglass box, but smaller, with a painted gold rose sticking out of the top. Inside was a folded-up poster of a gold rose on white rice paper; with the words You are gold no. 16 for Richard Christmas 2024. (the 16 refers to the 16th artwork of a series called You are Gold).
That day and even as I write this, tears of joy, gratitude and love stream down my face, as I was trying to hand Vincent his gifts without tear staining them.
I bought Vincent a recently re-released book of photos from photographer Peter Hujar and a Russian Orthodox church artifact of biblical scenes, made of bronze metal with inserts of white enamel.
Christmas eve we had 5 friends over for a Christmas feast. Vincent made a fantastic lasagna with broccoli rabe, ricotta and Parmesan, a salad of radicchio, pears, and dried cranberries, and I made a lemon, rice, and lentil soup. Dessert brought by our friend Gerri, who is a dessert expert, brought a yummy flan and a bouche de Noel.
I hope everyone had a marvelous Christmas and Hanukkah.
