Place Tertre, Butte Montmartre : painters

The small girl, my grand daughter, in this picture grew up: is not 19 years old. Her two bigger cousins where visiting in Paris, the first time in their life. Now all three are in different universities. 

We went to visit place de Tertre, on the top of Butte Montmartre. Was I still living there, or already in Argenteuil, North West of Paris? I have to admit, I do not remember. 

What I remember, and at least ten pictures give me "back" the time, is that my Grand Daughter was the one daring to ask the Painter questions, and that the Painter, very nicely did answer her. Not only answered her but showed her how he does paint. Gaby become an Art student! She does different things with creation of the art, does not specifically paint, but being interested, daring to ask, discover, for sure helped her.

  1. Montemartre was my one of my two favorite locations when I visited Paris when I was 17 years old (the other was Cathédral Notre-Dames de Chartres). In fact, I still have the watercolor of Montematre (that I purchased there so many years ago) hanging in my home. Thank you for reminding me of good memories!
