Discrimination against painters at SNCF ?

     The scientific community is in an uproar !… The new SNCF (French National Railway Company) baggage policy allows one large piece of “special luggage” (90 x 130 x 50 cm) per passenger on TGV INOUI trains. A musical instrument can be transported in this item of luggage, but paintings are prohibited.

     Is a suitcase of the same dimensions really more bulky when it contains a painter’s latest work rather than a synthesizer ?… Are the external dimensions greater depending on the contents of the baggage or the traveler’s sensibility ?… Will this hidden content, if it’s pictorial rather than musical, lengthen the train journey ?… Do the theories of quantum physics and general relativity need to be completed ?…

     Or has the SNCF suddenly veered down the path of discrimination ?

     First, and very simple watercolor : largely used like gouache, and applied with brushes for acrylic painting on paper for markers… with digital retouching.

     Eric Victor Burdon was the lead singer of Britain’s blues-rock band The Animals (or Eric Burdon and the Animals) in the 1960s, and of the funk-rock band War (or Eric Burdon and War), in the early 1970s.

     A triangle player, 2 guitarists, a drummer, an accordionist, a singer… All kinds of musicians everywhere with their fans, or amazed spectators… Then you can imagine what kind of story it could be… perhaps a musical American Idol-like contest ?
