For the first time in a decade I’ve had to change my Parisian studio. Gone the view of the dome for Val de Grace and the enormous bird who sleeps in the windowbox among the geranium, his throaty song heralding dawn.
I was a little sad of course. On the other hand in warmer weather once past the noon hour I would not have to paint clad in a sarong and tee shirt or risk baking like a potato.
I am still learning the light in new place, ideal times to paint.
Here is my first piece, watercolor and pocket pad 4×4 inches. I was pleased with the results.
