Place Des Vosges

By Pmeurice
   First painting from Paris... 

   I was, over the last weeks, looking for a bit of sun, in the search for nice lights and subjects.  (As well, a bit of time to do some drawing and painting). No sun. Anyhow, I try to take the time to re-discover Paris, and take some snapshots of the places I like. Here it is, the 'Place des Vosges', in the city historical center. An ensemble of red houses circling around the Square Louis XIII - on sundays, very live full place, and hosting several art galleries. Tried to play with the colors: gray sky is always full of nuances, and ... blue is always better.
