17 Rue

This area of the latin quarter (quartier latin) near rue de la Harpe and rue Saint-Séverin in Paris is said to date from Roman times. With its 18th century architecture, it felt more like Bourbon Street, New Orleans. I even saw a few people dancing on the cobblestoned streets one night. I might even have shook my hips a time or two.

Hi Wayne. I like the treatment you have given to the picture, like a painting! The colors are more intense and contrasted..... Kind Regards, Rosario.

Wonderful, like a post impressionist work ...

Thanks, Rosario. I tried to express the feel of the place or how it felt after 2 glasses of Merlot.

Many thanks, John. The place begs for this kind of treatment.

2 glasses of Merlot, no beer this time :-)

Great work,

ZT,

Beautiful scene with amazing colors & over all processing. Take care,.............Patsy

Thanks, Zbigniew. I confess. I probably had a beer too with my calamari.

Thanks, Patsy. I think this style of processing allows me freedom to explore the human form.

Hi Wayne: I admire how you are exploiting this very personally yours technique. It is a very interesting touchstone to get back into impressionism of the great painters like Monet, Manet and the like. You are metamorphosing common street views just like Degas into something ver pleasing to view. Admirable technique through post processing. I take the opportunity to use this comment to include most - if not all - of your postings (which I have viewed and admired) along the same general framework. Very artistic. Best regards. DG

Many thanks, Daniel. I like this form of expression but my insecurities need the affirmation of artists I admire. I really appreciate the kind comments and encouragement.

What better setting for a post impressionistic painting than Paris. I love it!!!!

Many thanks, Warren. The streets were inspiring.
