From my photo in the garden District of new Orleans.

The first picture was inspired by a photo I took in Montmartre in Paris. Montmartre, if you are not familiar is the highest point in Paris, soaring very high over the city. It has a church and a village at the top with restaurants and an artists colony. Many artists come there daily to paint and sell artwork. I was fortunate to spend a day there with them, conversing and sketching along side them. It was one of the highlights of my trip and one I hope to repeat soon. As you can see from my painting, I have depicted those artists hawking their wares. The second is from my photo of a dining experience in Rome. Rome as well as many other european cities has an active outdoor cafe' scene. it is one of the pleasures of life to dine alfresco, drink wine and watch the people move past.
