Sketches by an Artist of Montmartre

This old gal was one of many artists who were sketching the tourists on the square.










We chose her because we found her work very interesting. The sketch was of the two of us. She wouldn't give us a better price so we paid her the 100 Euros. I don't know if that was a bargain or a rip-off but we liked the results and had the work of art framed as soon as we returned home. She told us that her "permit" only allows her to work 2 days a week. A clown that does not-so-amazing tricks sold us a hand decorated tube for carrying the sketch. His antics were funny, I must admit. Posted by Picasa

Problem is that the sketch is framed and on the wall of my mother-in-law's living room. I'll try but the glass will probably make a sparkle of it.

You might know me as a journalist from PDP but i also paint, www.ukartistdailypainting.blogspot.com and i can confirm that 100 euros for two portraits is a good price. In fact, it's amazing. She must be one of these clever artists who can do them very quickly? Yes, please show the sketches!
