Painting the city of Paris is not only fun but a favorite location of many painters.

Maybe it is the rivers that bring out the edges of the city? Maybe it's the style of architecture of the buildings? No, I think Paris brings out the romance in each one of us. Drawing us back time after time.

As I start my painting I look over my drawings and remember the air of the city of lights. The smell of the river and the hustle and bustle of the city. Like a living thing that moves about. Fine dressed men and woman strolling down the sidewalks towards there busy lives.

I try to bring out the feel of the city in my painting. The colors, the edges, the textures. I blend and smudge my way around the painting. Color picking blends along the way. But keeping the pallet simple.

I work from area to area. Keeping things together and in harmony. I'm always thinking of how I felt in Paris and the way I loved walking the bridges into and out of the city. Slowly I get the painting closer to the end. Always working to keep everything together and yet a little abstract for effect. Until after a few days of reworking the painting it's done. I hope you enjoy this painting.
