La Vie En Rouge

Size: 20 x 16 inches

One of my favourite walks through Paris is along the winding streets up to Montmartre and Sacré Coeur.

The inspiration for this piece came as I was chatting to a friend about the start of the pandemic and all our cancelled travel plans. In March 2020, I was still a management consultant in London and had a trip to Paris booked with my now-husband who was then based in Dubai. However, the world suddenly shut its borders and we didn’t see each other for over 6 months… Whilst my most recent memory of Paris is bittersweet, it’s a city I know intimately and love.

Created with a combination of brushwork, application with a palette knife, and acrylic paint pens, this original artwork has been finished with a satin varnish for protection. The painting comes ready-to-hang with painted canvas edges and picture wire installed. The piece is titled, signed and dated on the back.
