If you're awake early in Paris on an April morning, might I suggest that you start your day with a visit to the Jardin des Plantes just as they open? You'll be rewarded with tulips and daffodils that outnumber people instead of fighting the usual crowds. If you're lucky, the magnificent giant Kwanzan cherry tree will be at its peak, and the light will be perfect. A moment of magic and beauty to remember, and it was sketches and photos from a just such a morning that inspired this watercolor.

About This Piece

There is never enough time in Paris, so I bring my sketchbook and paints along to capture those fleeting moments. Whether sketching at a café table or in my hotel room, this is my way of sealing the memory in my mind's eye and keeping it with me. Spring days spent waiting for the cherry blossoms to bloom, people-watching from a seat at my favorite café, a leisurely sun-soaked walk through the Tuileries - all little moments I've captured in my Paris sketchbook and then turned into original watercolors for you to bring home.
