This is a photo from the Robert Doisneau archives circa 1960. A friend sent it to me after she saw my posting "Love Is In The Air" by Doisneau.. She loved the photo and my painting next to it. I am caught up by his work. I had to paint it. This is my color infused view of, "Dance of the Beginners"!

"Love Is In The Air"



                            SOLD
Original oil painting on canvac board
I was inspired by a photo in an ad I received from a hotel in Milan. When I saw the photo, of 2 lovers kissing on a street that turned out to be in Paris, I had to paint it. The photographer was Robert Doisneau. He took the photo in 1950. It is called, "The Kiss", and is an icon for, "Paris, the city of love"! It was a black and white print, but in the eyes of someone in love, all the color can be seen by their imagination. I used only the central figures, the lovers kissing, the rest is my own.
