Window box


I have to be totally honest I got fed up with painting this one, I think I left too much time go by before finishing and I was too eager to start another one I had in mind, I hope you enjoy it more!



I've just started this one. As walking through the streets of Paris in the Montmarte area how could you not run out of film! We came across all sorts of lovely romantic corners, just behind the Moulin Rouge and near the Basilica of the Sacré Coeur, in a little street that led off from the a small vineyard in the Rue Saint-Vincent, was taken over by some film students that had set up a scene and one of the windows was this one with a beautiful window box! To just think the great artists Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani walked those streets…. 

I can hear Charles Aznavour’s La Bohème softly playing as I look at this painting…
