BRASSERIE WELPER A LA PLACE CLICHY

"Brasserie Welper à la Place Clichy" 1994

 The Basserie Wepler is still a grand place to sit and look out on to La Place Clichy.

A great dining room to sit and think about who caroused here along with Henry Miller. https://fr.scribd.com/document/170013325/Quiet-Days-in-Clichy

In 1974, I lived nearby on rue Amsterdam, a hop, skip, and a jump, to this famous cafe. I was taken for déjeuner with oysters there ONCE. Those were quiet days with me and my water colors, and mornings at Le Petit Poucet, next door.

CHEZ MAX rue Pierre Larousse

This was a little cous-cous restaurant next to my apt. on rue Pierre Larousse.  It was formerly called Les Palmiers until I made the painting. I loved Max even if he didn't buy the painting.

CAFE LE SELECT

"Cafe Le Select" acrylic on canvas 1996

 I remember sitting here in 1973.  The waiter was surly. He served a dog a bowl of water before serving me my café. I looked up at the late afternoon Paris sky. 
"This is where I want to live." I thought.
