My friend Genie, from the blog Paris and Beyond travels Paris, taking unusual and fascinating photos. I am planning a trip to Paris in the spring and spend a lot of time on Genie's blog, drooling over her gorgeous photos. When I saw this shot of French sailors in their colorful uniforms, I couldn't resist.

Very nice painting, Carol! Love the gesture of the sailors. I have checked out her site and she does beautiful photography. It makes one want to go to Paris!!
Hi Carol, I have a little French blog too and will rush off to see that blog. How lucky you are to have a trip lined up. I love the painting, it is so different and tells a lot about the moment in time!
I really like this one!
Your talent amazes me and how nice that we love French subjects, whether café cups à la still life or sailors on Quatorze Julliet (Bastille Day). The blues in this portrait are lovely.
If you want to see the original it is on my very first post: July 14, 2010.
Thank you, dear friend, for honoring my art medium with yours.
Bisous,
Genie
Si pendant votre séjour en France vous apercevez un marin, n'hésitez surtout pas à lui toucher son pompon... cela porte bonheur!!!
Très jolie toile et beau clin d'oeil à mon pays...

Ps : si par aventure vous passez par Lyon n'hésitez pas à venir me faire un coucou...
Wonderful painting! Someday I will make my trip to Paris too!
Oooo its hard to resist men in uniform in any form....you've made it irresistible!

Wonderful painting! Really nice scene with gorgeous colors and skin tones.
Carol,
I had to stop in to see how you interpreted Genie's wonderful photo with your brush! IT's marvelous. You do such beautiful work. I hope your trip this spring is as magical as all of mine have been. BTW, I've been lucky enough to enjoy Paris with Genie once and we can't wait for another trip together.
