HOME SWEET HOME

BACK IN PARIS

I'm so happy to be back home - sleeping in my own bed, in a town that understands my accent and I understand theirs - where my cats roam freely about the courtyard and every face in my neighborhood is familiar in the morning and foreign in the afternoon.

I was finally able to finish         La Boucherie de la Paix 

on rue d'Orsel - a painting that I had started last winter. 

The butcher was quite pleased as was his charming assistant. It's probably the first time someone made a painting of his sadly isolated shop.

The lady from the dress shop behind me was not so pleased. She shook her door mat a few times so the wind blew the grit in my direction. I got the picture and moved my easel out of her aim and merrily painted on.
