Seine, Late Afternoon

Sitting on the Quai Voltaire on my last afternoon in Paris, looking towards the Louvre and the Pont du Carrousel.

Fall Morning, Luxembourg Gardens

My busy and enjoyable week teaching an art history and sketchbook workshop in Paris ended last night with a celebratory dinner with my hardworking class (hours walking the Louvre and 6th arrondisement are exhilarating and also a rigorous mental and physical workout!)We enjoyed the last in a series of delicious dinners around town at the bustling art deco brasserie La Coupole. This morning I'm off alone for a quiet day revisiting favorite neighborhoods with my sketchbook and watercolors. I fly home to Vermont tomorrow, and look forward to posting my daily journal paintings again--beginning with a few looking back to an inspiring week in this beautiful city.
