Oh Paris again... When will I get back there? I was hoping for October but since nothing has been planned or even looked at lately that looks unlikely. Then there's the whole unemployment thing to worry about... Just have to start selling some pictures and getting my act together.

The gargoyle was spotted around the Palais de Justice and the lamp somewhere on the left bank or Ile de la Cite. Can't remember which.

day 15, 16, 17 - August 7, 2009

Okay, I had to do three today and I'm not entirely pleased with the results. Maybe it was too much quantity over quality. I started doing a second painting with a fireplace but scrapped that early on. Maybe it was also having window installers in. Or it is just plain old me. Anyway, the weekend is supposed to be rainy and I don't have much on for the rest of the week except house related projects, no actual work this week except Monday. I should be able to keep to one a day.

The first was the bedroom painting inspired by a photograph in Homes and Antiques (I used to have a subscription but had to let it lapse). The second was just a thought about my supplies. Lastly was the floral. I was just taken by the lines of bright fuschia in these flowers (called colchicum).

Day 2 - July 23, 2009

Again, inspiration from the lovely photographs published on decor8blog.com. And again, with some variation. Starting to warm up.
