'Cafe with Blue Doors' oil on board $425.
This cafe is in the vicinity of Napolean's Tomb. While I was painting it, a sweet old Frenchman came up and spoke to me. "Je ne parle pas français" I said. He pointed to my painting, doffed his hat and said "Bravo, Madame." It made my day.
It was a very pleasant place to paint. It was relatively quiet and very few people stopped to watch us work – it was a business district, so people walked briskly by in business suits, with briefcases or laptops, barely noticing us. It was refreshing, especially after a couple of days of working on the Alexander III Bridge.
