The Tabac is a French institution. And that goofy sign is the copy of a metro ticket. You know song Le Poinçonneur des Lilas by Serge Gainsbourg? He is also a French institution. I love him because he’s was an iconoclast. We need more iconoclasts in this world. What does he have to do with metro tickets? If you go to his gravestone in the Montparnasse cemetery you’ll see its covered with metro tickets because of this song.

Rue Geursant has some of the most beautiful buildings in Paris. The stone is dreamy-creamy luxurious. The buildings are relaxed, the windows are spread apart.

Happy Valentine’s Day. It’s been far too long. I got overloaded with lots of painting work and that is very exciting but what about you I haven’t abandoned you? Did you get a Parisian Macaron for Valentines day? I didn’t either. This one’s for you.

My neighbour’s geraniums are incredible. They are 30 years old and bloom all year long. Even in the winter. He rarely covers them when it snows, like it is today, but the balcony above his window sills protects them. On my balcony I grow potatoes and garlic and sweat peas. It’s time to put the garlic in the pots, they need cold to germinate.

This is the corner building on the intersection of Avenue de Gobelins and rue Valence. It’s where rue Monge, and rue Claude Bernard end. I love these rounded rooftops.
