This is one of my favorite paintings! I snapped this scene on a high school junior French club trip to Paris. I was so in awe of all the wonderful artists painting and selling on Montmartre. It was like painting little paintings within the larger piece. They were such fun to do since they were looser than my style and I probably wouldn't paint a clown :) I did this piece on Ampersand Gessobord which helped loosen me up a little because of the smooth surface.
This was a trip of a lifetime and one I will never forget. There were 3 total from my school that went and they were both friends. We slept 3 in a bed and faced the morning wake-up calls together! The chaperons were quite lenient. There was an older guy from our school going to the Sorbonne and we were supposed to meet up with him. The three of us took off to tackle the Metro at night! Such fun memories.
Thanks for reminiscing with me.
