Outdoors with Vicki Archer...

The Palais-Royal, originally called the Palais-Cardinal, is a palace and an associated garden located in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. Facing the Place du Palais-Royal, it stands opposite the north wing of the Louvre, and its famous forecourt (cour d'honneur), screened with columns and, since 1986, containing Daniel Buren's site-specific artpiece, Les Deux Plateaux, known as Les Colonnes de Buren. (via Wikipedia)

This is the painting of the Palais-Royal photo chosen by Vicki Archer of French Essence for My Paris Painting Giveaway...

Bonjour Fifi,
You have captured the spirit of the Palais Royal perfectly. The buildings are so well done, I've 'attempted' to draw this scene myself - it is now in the trash where it belongs. I love strolling through here taking in the mix of old world charm and ultra modern art - at first I was NOT impressed with the look but it kinda grows on you and now I like it.
Thank you again for sharing all your marvelous paintings!
Bonne journée
