Clouds form deep white banks, then melt into vaporous knots.
The river sweeps below.
I've only a smartphone and the porthole is scratched acrylic, but I feel compelled to try to capture all this, to picture things.
The next day we meet a friend, a beautiful young mother, with her baby Elsa.
She advises us on authorised swimming spots, and that afternoon, Pierce and I sink gladly into the Seine.
The water is dark and sinuous, not a crystalline blue like one of Hockney's swimming pools, nor a pulsing sea grey as in Ireland.
Strips of waterweed stroke our legs, but we surge out of the river, refreshed, alive.
Wednesday is our visit to the David Hockney Show at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in the Bois de Boulogne.
The exhibition space is dimly lit, people move slowly and speak in hushed tones.
Through the work on the walls, we see Hockney's life unfold in front of us.
an early painting of his dad, friends and lovers in California, a collage of the Grand Canyon, portraits, interactive stage designs for opera, which we view from beanbags on the floor.
We find his lockdown paintings and those awesome Yorkshire landscapes.
One, bigger trees near water, is larger than the side of a double-decker bus, comprising 50 individual panels painted in early 2007.
This huge work was gifted to the Tate.
A sycamore stands in a copse of trees.
It is flanked by buildings and a country road.
A pearly sky gleams through bare budding branches.
Daffodils peep from the grass.
There is no human here.
Nature is asserting herself, doing all the work.
