Memory of Guy Garcet His Oil Paintings, poems and songs

For those who have known Guy as an artist, this section of the site is a testimony of what he left us : A few manuscripts, not far from a hundred songs and poems, 60 of which were edited (d'Alcrena "Voilà qu'je chante..." - © 1990). A book written in French, true to historical facts, but easy to read as a novel, "L'année du Prince", telling the Journey of Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Battle of Culloden, sadly never found an editor... The 22 songs he recorded (two 33 LP and one single) are available on a CD or as MP3's. After his last recitals (Mons - Belgium) and his retirement in Scotland (1996) he went back to painting, having previously exhibited with the "Artistes des Collines" in Belgium. The last years of his life were devoted to painting what he loved : Scotland, its peaceful and wild nature, tranquillity and wonderful landscapes.

Le temps a passé si vite Et les saisons dans mon coeur Ont laissé pendant leur fuite Des souvenirs qui se meurent Le temps a passé cynique M'abandonnant sans façon Quelques notes de musique Quelques mots pour mes chansons Je ne suis que cheveux gris Quand la chanterelle sonne Je ne suis plus aujourd'hui Qu'une guitare en automne..
