“French Girl” Acrylic on MDF, 6″ x 6″
The sidewalk is the place to be on a Sunday, in November, along the Champs-Elysees in Paris. That’s where I met this young lady. She and her younger friends were playing. I was playing too, I suppose. At least we were smiling at each other. She seemed a little bashful when I asked if I could take her picture. But not THAT bashful, happily.

023 “Market Day” Acrylic on MDF, 5″ x 7″
I was walking along the river, near Melun, France, on my way to the weekly market, when I encounter this woman coming to market. She apparently lives on an old barge on the other side of the river. I loved her nearly heroic pose, her beauty, and the contrast between the battered old metal boat and her stylish, almost Renaissance-looking coat, her velvety dress, and ballet-style black slippers.

015 “Good Morning Bourgogne” Acrylic on MDF, 5″ x 7″
When I was on a barge cruise in Burgundy in France, I was inevitably the first one up, and last one to to bed. I enjoyed this moment standing alone on the deck in the early morning.

009 “See You in Paris” Acrylic, 5″ x 7″
On my first trip to France, I decided to carry a limited palette of colors to save space in my luggage. These are the pastels I brought with me. I’ve since increased from four to nine colors. As for the title, I sold a small piece of art to a tourist in Paris — she never asked if I was also a tourist; she was just happy to have a piece of art done in Paris.
