Boats on the lake, Bois de Vincennes

Paris, France, lake, woods



Ink on paper approx 10" x 6" £35 (British pounds)plus postage & packing (£3.50 to UK; £7 to rest of world)

My last day in Paris. I decided to walk from Place de Bastille to the Bois de Vincennes via the "Promenade Plantee", which is an old railway line - some under pass and some over pass, which they concreted over about 20 years ago and did some beautiful planting on either side to complement the foliage already there.
The rowing boats on the lake were a gift to sketch.
Sorry there is a greeny cast to the image. I took the photograph under some trees actually on site. I have just de-greened it a bit but see it is still peeking through.

These sketches have been a storybook.

I'll miss your Paris.

Aye, but it's always good to get home Sam - see all the family and get stuck in to a proper work routine again.

I've enjoyed your drawings; we know you had better things to do than be on the computer, so thanks for sharing your trip.

You are welcome DJ. I felt like doing the drawings though - they weren't a trial to me.
