The best thing about any trip is not being there. It is thinking about it afterward. Then you are able to fully absorb what you saw and heard and tasted. France is now a part of my whole being and I will never be the same. This is also why all artists should travel. It enlarges you and the more you have the more you can hold for later.
The clothes they wear in france are unlike any other place. It seems that each person has developed a certain style. Even the guy in pajamas , walking around Paris did have a scarf on.
Now I look around me here and it is disappointing. The jeans uniform is getting old. I cannot remember seeing jeans in Paris.
Dresses on all the girls though or if they had pants on they had a lace top or something else of equal panache.

About the Author
I am a Northwest artist who is fascinated by faces and people. I work with a brush drawing of a face or human figure. Then I apply ink, paint and gel in various layers to create rich colors and textures. Along the way my images are painted, scrubbed, rinsed off, then ink and paint are reapplied until the final image is finally revealed. The process of discovering who the figures will become keeps me "intrigued and absorbed."
