A marvelous story, a brief film of a handsome, young, British-global, painter, Tom Young, who went to Lebanon and fell in love with the country, painted its sumptuous colors and the complexity of living there, simultaneously full of joy and sadness, war and peace, nostalgia for the heyday of fun, comfort, romance, a rich social life and dealing with the uncertain now, loss, poignantly tangled.
A resident there offered him the use of a neglected, crumbling building, Villa Paradiso.
Here is his website with an array of beautiful, evocative, emotionally rich paintings, his FaceBook page and an article about the scope of his work in other countries as well.
