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.

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.

Non, not in Paris now. Quelle dommage!
Bon weekend,

Very interesting looking, and obviously talented artist.
quel dommage en effet..paris est beau en novembre
l'artiste a l'air sympa!
I like to observe artists while they're creating.
I think your blog has been invaded by malware!!! Check all the words that have become links!!
Interesting artist, and lovely work he does! And an excellent photo of artist in action! :)
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 wonder what music he's listening to while creating Virginia, so interesting to watch an artist at work,
