Last Day in Paris...

How about a Royal Day... a trip to Versailles... There's Louis IV upon his horse... in front of his masterpiece palace...
That's one BIG residence... one could get lost... or hide for days!Bonjour Mom... enjoying the Hall of Mirrors... she looks so pretty walking through the palace... talk about a lot of walking... I think we are ready to put our feet up and eat, drink and be merry...Cheers to a wonderful time in Paris... not too much wine, Fifi... or you will look like this...
Ok... so I'm not Marie Antoinette... and thank goodness... I'm fond my head even with a hangover! Painting by moi is from a scene in Sofie Coppola's Marie Antoinette... it would make for a GREAT series of paintings... but alas... I didn't have the time to finish my sketches... so one is better than none for now. (Photos posted over this weekend were taken in March 1992... overdue for another trip to Paris)
ENJOY SUNDAY!!!

I think March 1992 was the last time I was in Paris, too. We both may be overdue; your photos and sketches make for some nice daydreaming.
