19 Jun Travel Sketches: France Part 2

{The flower boxes were everywhere in Paris. Aren’t they gorgeous?!}

Hello Friends!

On this trip to France, I made an effort to capture moments of beauty with my sketchbook and camera too. I want to share with you about a dozen photo sketches from this collection. It’s a combination of photographs of visual beauty and personal spiritual beauty (you know things that make you say “ohhhhh and make you happy”. Enjoy!

{She’s a beauty all around, but I do love her side view best.}

{You guys this is where Cezanne and Picasso bought their art supplies! Oh yes, I came away with a set of chalk pastels. Eeeee!}

{Seeing Degas originals and other works from the Impressionists was an amazing moment. When I walked into the gallery at the Orsay Museum I choked up a little.}

{There was a French kids’ bookstore in the neighborhood we stayed in Paris. It was fun to browse the colorful picture books all in French.}

{Caught this moment in the chapel when we visited Fort La Latte, a medieval fort along the English Channel.}

{Our sunny breakfast table during our Dinan stay. Nice way to start the day, right?}

{The detailing on the old wood houses in Dinan, Brittany was so whimsical.}

{We stopped to this working windmill during a country drive. It’s still grinding grain to make flour! She’s a good ol’ gal.}

{I’m all smiles with freshly picked wild flower in my pocket given to me by D.}

{Awwwww! I found this row of boots in the hallway of our last apartment in La Trinite. Adorable.}

{Ahhh, a pastel sunset.}

{The Eiffel Tower is spectacular when lit up at night!}

Have a great weekend!
