Lovers strolling the Boulevard

Continuing with my weekend in Paris theme started by my bookmarks on Tuesday...here's a watercolor painting of how I imagine the view would be strolling down a Boulevard in Paris. While I was running around before painting class, I spied these tiny Paris store front sculptures in our entryway and decided to paint them. My husband and I  bought the first one in Paris many years ago. I really like how the painting came out and will definitely try painting different ones next time. I'm showing them at Paint Party Friday , come have a look at all the beautiful paintings. I've included a picture of out entry way, can you find the tiny sculptures on our little table?


Till next week, try to take a stroll with someone you love this weekend.
artfully yours, gerri

    Another wonderful title post that prepares us for the artistic journey that you will take us on, today a journey to Paris.
    The most amazing painting and what a beautiful home you have. Your home oozes class and it also oozes love.
    I am also a fan of vintage suitcases. I use one to store handbags underneath my bed.
