Another Parisian night scene

 -UGC Mabillon-
 -50x50cm-
 oil on canvas

These classy neon signs in Paris are disappearing.  One cinema I painted a few years ago was La Bretagne.  Its ornate neon is now a giant white sign with boring red letters.  It's a Gaumont now.
Contemporary realism — urban changlings.

  1. It's alarming how quickly cities change, isn't it? I bet I'd barely recognize Paris now.

    1. Hi Kate,
      True, I have't been here that long, still. When were you here last?
      Thanks for stopping by.

    1. Hi S.P.,
      Thanks for your compliments. I hope my writing will equal my painting. The Tiger was fun, it will be on show this week.

  3. Stopping in from Janet Reid's blog and wow. Beautiful paintings. Someone once thought I was an illustrator. I said, no, but I have a great appreciation for all those who can create art. JEN Garrett
