HH4 Challenge #5 - Paris mon Amour

It was my turn againg to pick the HH4 challenge. So instead of a single reference I chose a couple of pictures. The theme: HH4 goes to Paris!

Soo... Close your eyes.... picture this:  Paris on a lovely warm Sunday in late September, with all the Parisians back from their August summer break and enjoying the warmth in the Tuileries Gardens - or Jardin des Tuileries as we like to call it...
Aaaah, c'est la vie!

'Paris à Deux'

Oil, 8'' x 10''

And of course my HH4 friends joined me in Paris - take a look at the artist's blogs by clicking on their names.

HH4 Challenge #4 - 'Jonathan C. Gull'

We're already two weeks into the new year - but it's surely not too late to wish you all a Happy 2013, is it?

This is the first painting in 2013, the fourth round of the HH4 Challenge. The reference was sent out by Chris Werst, a picture of seagulls on Hilton Head Island. Another classic sight at that wonderful beach.
Enjoy the sea air, for with the next challenge we will move on from Hilton Head. In the hope to return soon...

Let me introduce 'Jonathan C. Gull'. He likes to stand out from his flock and ponder the meaning of life.
