Paris an inspiration for paintings while immersing in memories of living in its heart for a school year over 50 years ago.
Artist Journal November 2024
Paris, a beloved city I first immersed into over 50years ago while attending The Sorbonne. In those days while living for a school year in a sixth floor walk up my days were filled with exploring Paris each morning and later afternoon while walking to and from the Left Bank from Rue de Gare de Lyon. This October I once again immerse into the St Germain de Pres area and reminisce my good fortune of three weeks to savour France and paint the charms that have delighted me for over fifty years. Our boutique Hotel Bonaparte in a perfect location for wandering the streets finding brocante markets, charming cafes for breakfast, and secluded gardens. Le Grand Colbert a dinner dining treat, walks along charming avenues photographing doors, Paris buildings and people watching. Every turn I am thrilled to let the charms of Paris soak into my reservoir of painting inspirations.
