Book Stands in Paris

 

A lady peruses the books and magazines in the stands that line the promenade along the Seine River. The contents of the green stands are sometimes as eye catching as the architecture, probably because it is a tiny piece of the landscape that you can actually take home with you. Oil on 16"h x 12"w stretched linen. SOLD.

Ladies Night Out

I've had the reference photo for this painting since my 2010 trip to Paris. It took a while before I was comfortable painting more than one person together. Also I was always focused on painting things that were distinctly Parisian. Aside from the people smoking and the Chanel bag, you really can't tell where this is, which is fine. Most of my recent work is about people doing their thing, wherever it is.

This is one of several new paintings added to the UGallery site this week. Oil on 16"w x 12"h composite board.
