With wonderful, elegant tree lined avenues and sun filled parks, character filled neighbourhood ‘quarters’, colourful bustling centres such as old Montmartre (made famous by many renowned artists such as the ‘Impressionists’, who had such a great influence within the art world), and relaxed park and café society, it is easy to see how attractive this city has become to visitors.

Intense sunlight reflected from white chalk pathways, parasols with vibrant reds complementing the lush dense greens of summer chestnut trees, deep violet shadows compliment sunlit areas, which constantly beguile with the moving light are just a few of the aspects of these parkland paintings. In contrast, using warm, rich colours to evoke the ambience of long relaxed evenings, these nocturnal paintings create a special romantic mood that is also Paris.

Using a bold technique and robust palette throughout, these paintings will be immediately familiar to those who have visited this wonderful city and will evoke (I am sure), enjoyable times spent in this most glorious city.
