Sidewalk Artist – Paris, France

I noticed this artist along the same row of street vendors that I featured yesterday. Unlike most wares, which were reprinted drawings, magazine covers, and pictures, she created original art. In fact, she was painting another piece as I photographed her. A line on her display board read “Original Creations by DAVAN, the Parisian Artist.” I guess English is the universal language even in France. I saw no other signs in a different language.

My wife and I briefly considered buying a piece, and I even talked to her briefly. Her works are adorable, perhaps too cute for our decor — ultimately, we passed. It’s worthwhile to support an artist. However, we couldn’t think of a place to display this.

We are still on the upper bank along the Seine River. While you can’t see the water, a few boats are in the background, along with an all-too-common impressive building on the other side.
