Little Paris Paintings

2011-12-12T14:01:00.000-08:00

I have launched my Little Paris Paintings show. All year long I've been inspired by the look of all the different storefronts and cafes. I love all the color, architecture, and typography. Evidence of this can be seen on Instagram (which you can follow on Instagram I'm @paulferney, or you can see most of the photos that I also post to my Tumblr blog.)

Here's some nice cropped details shots of a few paintings. See the whole show here, or here.

Each of the paintings are 5"x7", oil on linen, framed

Thanks Lisa!
