wallpaper A Simple Kind of Life by No Doubt

I like Gwen Stefani very much and felt like sharing one of her videos. I decided for this one instead of Hella Good that has a rhythm that I feel more connected.

After seeing some comments at Youtube of some women claiming that they can relate to this song I started thinking that this is exactly what we all want, men and women: a simply kind of life. God! How it can be that it is becoming so hard?

There she is with her family. It seems she got it, of course with all the problems of a simple kind of life, but she is not a "celebrity" whose photo is daily at the news showing any silly event.

She is a singer. God! How hard it is to find good singers today!

Suzanne Valadon started modeling for impressionists at a very young age following her mother's steps but she did fight not to be stigmatized and treated like a whore like her mother. She became herself a painter and her son Maurice Utrillo is a known artist.
She modeled for Degas, Renoir, Puvis de Chavannes, Toulouse-Lautrec and others.
I didn't know it was her at this work by Toulouse Lautrec, The hangover, 1888 and another Lautrec's work I like, The Laundress, and published here.
By looking at the way the impressionists portrayed her what is striking is that it is possible to see the different approach of impressionists. Too much is said about what impressionists have in common and few about every artist uniqueness. I will just publish the Lautrec today because I really like this work and leave the others for another post.
