Les Deux Magots - Cafe Scene in Paris

This painting, oil on linen canvas, depicts a cafe scene in Paris. Les Deux Magots is one of the most famous cafes located in the quarters of Saint-Germain-Des-Près. It once had a reputation as the rendezvous of the literary and intellectual élite of the city. It is now a popular tourist destination. A waiter is standing by a client awaiting her order. The chairs are made of rattan. A lady is reading the newspaper while eating a piece of cake. This painting is telling the story of all those people. My paintings have a tendency to grow on you. The style is very soft, I used many layers of glaze.
