"rue de'l Abeurvoir: Paris, France"

I went on another internet excursion through Paris today and found this quaint little scene on the rue de'l Abeurvoir. 

Google provides the most amazing technology that allows the viewer to actually travel down practically any street on earth.  That's how I got from eastern Washington to the streets in Montmarte this morning. 

This scene is about a block from the famed Lapin Agile cabaret, in the Montmarte district.  If you look in the background you'll see two of the spires on the cathedral Sacre Coeur peeking back at you. 

I love Paris.

  1. Gorgeous. It's amazing how much traveling you can do without leaving the house. I must go on one of these virtual trips.

  2. Very beautiful - wonderful houses, love the angle, composition, and where you chose to paint, and chose not to paint.

  6. You have achieved here what I've been working on--that feeling of quickness and spontaneity within a finished artwork.
