Paris, France

Not pictured in this painting is the awful smell of urine that is often found under the bridges in Paris. Life in Paris in wonderful but it isn’t all croissants and wine. My husband likes to joke that you can walk fifteen feet in Paris and within that distance you smell urine, delicious fresh baguettes baking, poop, and fresh flowers.

We are all spending a lot more time at home this year. Rather than being disappointed about missed opportunities, I am painting this series of watercolor landscapes as a reflection on past road trips, weekend getaways, and seasons of life when we were able to travel freely. For the month of November, I am committing (to myself mostly) to paint one watercolor landscape a day. Each painting is from one of my photographs taken while traveling. It has me feeling very nostalgic for more simple times but also grateful for past adventures, which is why I am titling this collection Looking Past Nostalgia.
