A whatsthepointillistic song reflecting the progress of Robert McLean's painting course in Henri Matisse's villa Le Rêve in Vence, France, in June/July 2002. The first lines were written in Norway, the rest of the first two verses written in a park in Nice on a Saturday morning, and the rest was written in room 14 in the villa or in the garden, just before the nightly wine, women and song (all right, and men and children) beneath the starry, starry night, while painting our palates blue and gray.
In the south
of France,
Blessed
are the meek.
