Painters Square

 

 

On a square in the banks of the Seine in Paris there is a small little square where artists arrive daily to do their work. There really is nothing like this in all the world and I just watched and wondered how satisfying such a way of working must be for these people. Thousands of people visit this square daily to admire what is being done.

This was arguably my favorite place in Paris that I visited.

Even now I wish I was sitting in the square drinking a cappacino and watching all this beautiful work being done.

Janet and I made our largest purchase in France that day and took home with us a beautiful picture painted by the artist you see painting in this first picture.

It will be our little reminder of our week in Paris.

I couldn’t help but get a chalk of Janet for my office at the house.

Christy DeKoning - I was googling “artists in Paris” and came across your blog. It is a beautiful memoir of your week in Paris! I, too, was in Paris this Spring (May/June) and being a portrait artist myself, I really enjoyed watching the artists creating beautiful works of art right before my eyes.
Living in Canada, and not in a bustling metropolis, I am confined to working in my own studio or traveling to the homes of clients to paint a portrait. But oh, how lovely it would be to stroll down to the square and set up my workspace on a Paris street.
I have dreams of retiring to Montmartre!
