I joined @CristinaPiceda inopening our @Atelier76at 67 rue Maurice Ripoche in the 14th arrondisement in 1978 and we invited other artists to join us when the Atelier 17 and the Atelier were closed so we could continue in our artistic journeys and share in commaderie and share experiences and ideas! Carol Field came so did Mansour Ibrahim and Etelvina and more
Here are some pictures there from that time, these two are in front on the street in front of Atelier 76!
I have watercolors and drawings, too that I did there to include here soon.
On one occasion , le 17 Juillet, 1978 , jeudi soir nous etions @CristinaPiceda , @AnthonyQuinn , @MansourIbrahim , @CarolField, @Etelvina @Girard et @JoseGuadalupePosada.
My ink and watercor I said :
" ... a d I've got the apple of temptation, and a fiamond snake around my arm. Or was that Jose?!?!
The ink snd watercolo with the yrllow background color of two figures was done by me that Thursday afternoon.
I will include more drawings done there later.
rediscovering my past and loving it!
One picture is with me snd Cristina Piceda from Buenos Aires that had the idea to tent this space.
The other picture is with my friend John Towsmanfrom New York that was not an etcher but living in Paris at the same time. I believe he came to buy some art of mine for his family.
From my green sketchbook at the time , my drawing and my page of writing , some mine and some from Doystoyevsky.
While I have been downloading and preparing this I have been listening to Georges Brassens - " j'ai rendezvous avec vous, je m'en fou ! "

I just found four pictures working in both Atelier 17 ( the pne with Cristina Piceda on the left, Mansour Ibrahim in the center - lifting his print of the plate on the press bed, and me on the right with my back to the camera turning around, the @Atelier17 of @stanleyWilliamHayter ), and three at @JoelleServe her @Atelier63
WOW! What a great discovery just now! I know there will be more to be made, but this excites me no end!
One picture from the Atelier 17 of , left to right - @CristinaPiceda, @MansourIbrahim, and me @AnthonyQuinn on the right. 1978 or 1979? 10, rue Didot, 75014, Paris, France
Three pictures I took at @JoelleServe @Atelier63 as one of the two assistant managers to Joelle Serve at 54 rue Daguerre, 75014 , Paris, France with Elizabeth in a blue work shirt seated on the left and looking at me, and also Helen and Julie, as well as someone else,
AND in another photo Elizabeth is standing on the left with an etching in her left hand looking over at the lady blond lady crouching over and working on her plate, and
another etcher, a man wetting his paper to print on, I believe, too.
In the third photo with a view from the front of Atelier 63 looking down the room at both Helen and Julie and another lady.
The light coming in on the left from the courtyard there.
One of my favorite memories is visiting Cristina Piceda that lived upstairs in that building on the right, and listening to @BillyJoel sing " Just the way you are " as I waited for Cristina to join me!
SO glad I have these pictures!
There are three pictures here, the one above if of the Atelier 63, the other tpw are of @CristinaPiced and @MariaValecillo - both that etched with Bill Hayter at the Atelier17, and here we are in 1995 dining together in a restaurant in Buenos Aires speaking French while all around us at the other tables both English and Spanish could be heard as well as our French - all at really high decibles!
MORE to come as I find them!
Stay tuned!

I just found my negatives of the pictures I mostly took with a couple of exceptions at Atelier 17 inside and outside with pictures of so many of us including Bill Hayter, Krishna Reddy, Han, And more early morning either 1978 or 1979, I will check
There was much conversation mongst us that were etching and printing at Atelier 17 and I bought a disposable camera and used it to take pictures of all of us with Bill Hayter. I m thabkful that we all wanted to document this time, and I developed the prints and gave copies to a number of fellow artists.
I will make better prints now with these negatives as this is an important piece of histody at Atelier 17.
Here are pictueres of these negatives that Ibrediscovered this late morning, Friday, February 27, 2026.
Merci tous! Quel belle souvenir pour nous!

I just added two shades of watercolor , a cadmium yellow light and a cadmium yellow deeper richer darker one - one to one older et hing, the other to another etching, they are both wet and drying now Sunday 1:30pm February 22,2026
I must thank both Kate Fleming and Bill Phipps for their recent suggestions to
me, both challenges in their own ways.
I just added some thick yellow watercolor, two different shades to my older wtchings.
The lighter shade watercolor went to my La Dame Clocharde de Metro Trocadero etching, and the farkershade yellow wayercolor to my et hing called " To a discerning Eye ".
Here are the pictures and videos I just nade.
