Cafe in Paris

Cafe in Paris 18 × 24 inches • Acrylic on canvas Dimensions are for the artwork and do not include the frame. Growing up in Texas, Paris seemed like another world. I was this nerdy little kid reading about painters and dreaming about the places where they had lived and worked. So many of my favorite artists and favorite periods in art seemed to lead back to Paris. I always thought, Wouldn’t it be incredible to sit at a café there and paint someday? When I finally made it to Paris, I wasn’t going to travel all that way and leave my paints behind! I packed rolled canvas and art supplies, found a café, ordered some coffee, and started painting. There was music, conversation, people passing by, and the whole city moving around me. It was an experience I had imagined for years—and then suddenly, I was actually there. I brought the canvas home and finished it in my Texas studio, carrying all that energy and color back with me. This painting is a piece of that day and a dream I finally got to live. I hope that wherever it finds a home, it brings along some of the warmth, excitement, and wonderful feeling of sitting at that café in Paris. Please email for pricing. bramblitt@gmail.com
