We are on the road, and when I heard on the news tonight thatElton John received the Legion of Honour from France's
President Macron, I immediately knew what I wanted to put
on my blog tonight. I had the honour in June of 2013 to meet
Bernie Taupin, the song writer partner to Elton John's wonderful music.
Bernie Taupin had an exhibition of his paintings at the Liss
Gallery in Toronto, and I was invited to attend. Taupin was
humble, friendly, a very good abstract painter, and allowed me
to get a photo with him. Plus I did a black and white pen sketch
of him afterwards from reference photos. I haven't met Elton John, but
of course I'd love to. His music is fabulous, and he is deeply
involved in working on fighting AIDS.
I do not have a drawing of Elton John, but if I ever get to meet
him in person, I certainly will do his portrait.
Have an honouring your super experiences day.
