Un dimanche à Paris.

Each time I find myself in Paris, particularly in the winter months, I like to wander through the streets and listen to the hubbub of pedestrians and trafic, and watch the the lighting that shimmers of the paving, glowing in a rainbow of colours.

This painting is the result of one such visit. Painted from a series of studies made one evening in the drizzle of a late November day. It is the second version of this scene, with an emphasis on the colour, the warm glow on a winters night.
