SPEAKING OF PARIS

Speaking of Paris-sometimes walking around it gets tiring and one needs to take a short break.Luxemburg Garden is one of my favorite places in Paris to regroup,observe people and get some new ideas and inspiration.

HOW DO I GET IDEAS FOR A PAINTING?

Waiting for an inspiration

So,how do ideas for any painting come into my mind?From mundane to miracleous...inspiration comes from everywhere-beauty of nature,weather conditions,state of a mind ,every day objects,people encountered or imagined,a sound ,a glance,a fragrance,a piece of music and much more...sometimes from a dream half recalled...

This painting "Encounter in Paris" speaks or rather barks for itself-one of many scenes you can observe on the streets of Paris.
