Sunny Cafes in Aix en Provence

 

Mostly everyone was searching for shade on this hot day in Aix en Provence. Everyone except the couple walking toward me as well as myself, of course. Only the hearty dared to walk in the sunlight in search of the next cafe serving Aperol spritzes. Pro tip: everyone in Aix serves them! Oil on 24" x 20" stretched linen. SOLD.

Dinner in Lyon

 

We were originally supposed to fly into Aix en Provence last year, but due to two consecutive days of flight delays, we changed our route to land in Lyon, which saved us another day of delays. The reference photo was taken in a section of town where the streets are lined with outdoor restaurants, and was reminiscent of Saint Germain des Pres in Paris. Oil on 30"h x 24"w stretched linen. SOLD.

Corner Cafe

I painted this from a photo that I took in Paris, two years ago. The biker in the foreground seemed to have noticed me being a creeper. This painting is 16"h x 12"w and is for sale at Latrobe Art Center, Latrobe, PA
