This is a street corner in the 8th arrondissement of Paris.  Much of the painting was done with a palette knife but the dress of the Indian woman is all veils.

Amy is one of my all time favorite paintings.  It sort of painted itself.  When I look at it I think of the book The Girl on The Train by Paula Hawkins because that's what I listened to while painting.

Le Select, a Contemporary Realsim oil painting of Paris -

Le Select is one of the historical literary cafés in Paris. It haunts my paintings.  I've painted the elaborate neon sign, those lovely neons which are quickly disappearing. I've painted the terrasse, the garçons during the day, the interior, and a wide night scene of boulevard Montparnasse where Le Select is on one corner. This composition reflects another Parisian cafe scene I did while living in New York five years ago. The Cafe Flore.

Rue Monge corner of Avenue de Gobelins, close to the Starbucks.  This painting makes me think of the book Maze Runner. That is what I listened to while painting.

Rue Monge will be part of my upcoming show that opens in Saint Germain des Prés the gallery district in Paris's 6th Arrondissement. To be announced very, very soon.
