French Flowers

At the suggestion of one of the neat Parisians met on this trip, I headed to the Bastille Market to paint. What an absolutely fantastic open air market.  The first scene I chose was this flower seller. They were fantastic at working with their patrons -- putting together one beautiful bouquet after another.  One family with a young tot asked me what I was planning to paint while my canvas was still just toned and blank.  Then the mom went to the flower stall and after a while came back with a bouquet.  I pointed to her on my canvas -- and she got such a kick out of that.

This is extremely abstracted for me. Who wants a wilder one than usual?
