This is a painting of a door in Paris. A walk on Boulevard St. Michel toward the river on the left bank is always fascinating, but I found the doors especially interesting They always seem to hide stories and make one wonder what happened behind all those doors. Most are private ones with double doors that open into a courtyard. But this one caught my eye because of the very modest hotel that caters to the students in the area. In years past, the time I spent in Paris was business related, but we returned there this spring for a vacation. We stayed in a little hotel on the left Bank, Hotel de Mine, across from Luxembourg Gardens. We walked a great deal and took some wonderful photos of the doors and the delightful cafes and bistros in the area.
