Paris Art

Paintings of Paris!

Bonjour!
I was lucky to be able to visit Paris finally this past March.
And although I loved the city before, now I love it even more!
To finally see it in person was amazing. It is certainly different to see a country and city that is so old, as I live in the United States, a relatively young country.
What a feeling to walk the beautiful streets and see the sites of so many historic events.

Since my visit, I have enjoyed creating art from the lovely cafes and other sites I saw there.
I can also be commissioned if you have your own photo that you would like painted.
As always please visit my Etsy shoppe to see what paintings are available.

Portraits of Paris... to reminisce or inspire a visit!

Rue Montorgueil

Flowers cascade over an awning as some dancers enjoy the moment.

Eiffel Tower View

An actual lovely view in Paris I was that I was lucky to see!

Rue Cler Florist

A florist prepares for the day at his floral shoppe.

Many of my Paris paintings have one of my favorite sayings...
"Paris est toujours une bonne idée!" Most of the time it is on a building awning but sometimes you can find it somewhere else....

"Paris est toujours une bonne idée!"

Paris is always a good idea!

On mornings the famous Rue Cler is bustling with activity while business owners ready for the day. A pedestrian street normally, in the morning delivery trucks empty their stock and shop owners bring out their food or items to sell to cabinets lining the streets. While we walked to breakfast we passed all this activity. Next to the cafe we ate at was this florist performing his morning chores. What a lovely typical morning Parisians that I was lucky to see.

This painting is still looking for a home to remind the owner of the busy street of Rue Cler!

On Rue Cler, is this lovely cafe! We ate breakfast here twice and it was delicious! I enjoyed it so much I have tried to replicate the eggs I had there at my own home... they came out similar but I fear the only thing I can do is go back and enjoy them once again!

If you are in Paris, you should try to visit Rue Cler at least once, as it has a bunch of lovely shops and is very picturesque as well.

This painting is in someone's home to remind them of their time staying in a hotel with a view of Rue Cler! Merci!

While heading back to our apartment one day we came across this beautiful view!
What a sight to see!! We were lucky to also eat here as well.
Whenever possible, I recommend you take a side street to discover more wonderful places!

Because you never know what you will find...

This painting has sold but I may paint it again one day!

So many beautiful sights in Paris...and here is yet another. A blossoming corner profuse with color. And in front of it the traditional Parisienne style of building, with lovely overhang to protect guests from the rain. This painting and many others of mine always have a message too....

"Paris est toujours une bonne idée!"

Because it is!
This painting is still available and will be listed soon in my etsy shoppe, or please message me for more info.

Teddy Bears are a thing in Paris... you can see them in many places, such as this cafe!
Here are some Teddy's saying hello! This painting is in progress and will eventually be available.

Even a rainy day is lovely in Paris... I mean you are in Paris, any day is wonderful regardless of weather!
This was a pretty cafe I saw on one rainy day... and the first painting that I decided to add the words "Paris est toujours une bonne idée!" Paris is always a good idea... because it is!
The striped awning and soft flowers climbing the building above pulled me right in to take a photo. Can you see why? This painting went home to Katy, who also loves Paris! Thanks to Katy for giving my art a home!

Looking for more than a painting? My art is on Fine Art America, where they have my art on tote bags, shower curtains, prints, pillows puzzles, ornaments, and so much more!

This was a pretty cafe that I saw on Rue Montorgueil one spring day. Flowers draped down over the cafe awning, with chairs waiting for you to come and take a seat.
I added some dancers that are dancing to music flowing from the cafe.

Many of my paintings have a subtle reminder on them, you just have to look for it. The reminder is that Paris is always a good idea!

This painting is still looking for a wall to hang on to remind the owner of the wonderful beauty waiting for them in Paris!

If you are planning a trip to Paris, and want to stay near Rue Cler and the Eiffel Tower, I highly recommend "My Maison in Paris-Invalides." I do not get anything from this recommendation, just enjoy sharing my great experience with others. We booked a two-room apartment, for 4 people and had a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower from our balcony.
Photos above are from the balcony.
