I spotted this painting by Robert Delaunay at the Musée de art moderne, and stopped in my tracks. I have a large reproduction of this in my home, and have enjoyed it every day.

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Hi Virginia,
I love how you captured the woman tilting her head looking at the painting!
It's an amazing artwork, beautiful colors!

I can understand why the reproduction of this vibrant piece brings you so much pleasure on your wall. When one sees the original work it heightens the pleasure of a good reproduction.
Gros bisous
I like the perspective of the tower from above. It is indeed vibrant to the max.
That is you in front of the wonderful Eiffel? I LOVE Delauney's obsession with the Eiffel but I've never seen an orginal! I think one can more fully appreicate his paintings after having experienced the real Eiffel! (PS it's so wonderful listening to the music while coming here, un grand merci!) PS I did a post about La tour eiffel awhile ago & mentioned you & Delauney too...
Duncan, Actually that is moi admiring the painting. My friend Mary took this photo and I didn't think of that when I watermarked it!

Rita,
Your post on la Tour was terrific and I appreciate the link! I'm researching the books you mentioned for my grandkids et moi.

I am not surprised it took you a while to recognize "La Vieille Dame." She was not clad in her usual monochrome coat, and was not surrounded by "la grisaille" in the Parisian sky :-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Very interesting angle! And what a treat to have you in the photo!
Beautiful!
It is thrilling to experience the original, non?
Gorgeous painting...(and fun to see you too!)

That poster is one of the many things that we have in commom - twin sisters from separate mothers, n'est-ce pas?
What a beautiful stop-and-stare kind of photo!
It does look familiar.
Virginia an absolutely stunning work of art!! I would enjoy it every day as well!
