I’m just back from my very first trip to Paris. I can only say, If I lived there, I would never leave.
This was not an “art” trip—it was a trip that one of my girl-friends and I had been planning for many years and finally got to take. Mostly we just saw the sights, did some souvenir shopping, and visited confectionery shops. Lots of confectionery shops. But as for the “art” side, it was superbly inspiring to say the least. Visual inspiration at every corner. I cannot wait to start on whatever may be my next piece. Mostly I just took some photos for reference later, but I did manage some sketches. Usually from a restaurant table, while my friend was on a restroom break.
