You've met the artist, now let's have a closer look at his beautiful Conté drawing of Canal St. Martin. I never thought to ask if he was willing to sell it and the price.
Bonjour Virginia! You are in Paris right now?? Lovely portrait of the artist...And I love the photos below too. I hope to see the Monsieur & his accordion on Rue Mouffetard one of these days!!
Great perspective of an artist with a crayon from an artist with a camera - SO evocative V - Brava my friend F x PS has to delete the above too many typos. Apologies!
I love this post -- it reminds me of one of my favorite moments in Paris when we watched a sidewalk artist (Places des Vosges for us). It was fascinating. I wish I'd asked how much. (Of course, I am always reminded of the Lucy episode when she went to Paris and bought a painting done on the street and as soon as she was gone, the painter pulled out another and started adding touches as he'd done to the first! I love Lucy!
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
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.

I wonder what music he's listening to while creating Virginia, so interesting to watch an artist at work,
