Place de Vosges, 10 1/4" x 14 1/4"
Paris is filled with beautiful parks, and this one was right across the street from where we were staying. With their wonderful water fountains and manicured gardens, they are very popular and frequented daily by locals and tourists alike. This was a small painting I tried to do quickly and loosely, and to convey a stroll through the park on a warm summer day. One of my goals in watercolor is trying to give the impression/suggestion of the image without fussing the details; giving the viewer the opportunity to "complete" the scene with their imagination. Including people in my paintings is also something I'm working on, and once again, without being too detailed about it!
There it is, Chris. In fact it looks like virtually the same spot I painted at. Nice paintings of France! It is indeed so picturesque.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking a look Michael, the view does look quite similar, and thank you for the kind words as well. Yes, Paris and France have an overabundance of beautiful scenery, all of it perfect for a painting!
