We are never bored,
there is the pleasure of the eyes,
but also pleasures for young and elder ones....

It was a rainy day, as Normandy knows how to "offer" us, when I noticed this gallery with these pretty portraits. Unfortunately, it was closed, so I took my photos from the outside and, thanks to the raindrops, here is the result ...
... for once the rain is my ally!
When the picture is reflected in reality...
Orbe street
Of the street or of the painting, I don't know which one I wanted to photograph ...
"A curiosity"
The arts workshop
"I would have liked to be an artist"
... if only to spend my time in this magical shop for painters. The windows are always sober, elegant and change with the seasons.
But I am not an artist so I enjoy the windows and leave the art to the artists.
Anyway, thank you for sharing it with us.

The art of the pot
"If someone throws a stone at you, throw him a flower
but don't forget to throw the pot with "
-Unknown-
When I walk in the streets of Rouen, I try to locate unusual details of decoration and there are many in height, carved in stone. So before landing, I take care not to step on a canine poop and, I remember that it is not after the dogs that I moan but well after the masters who lack good citizenship by not picking them up. Especially since the town hall of Rouen made sure to install bag distributors throughout the city. But I digress, I know it ... So I come back to these sculpted treasures which litter the buildings of Rouen here and there, I am always happy when I discover them and above all in admiration.

What a pot !
Hospital Street
Only one remark: thank you for removing the labels from the planters ... what a bad habit!
Polychrome
Alsace Lorraine street, next to the Normans Roasters, contemporary paintings. Definitely my mind opens up to "modern" and to colors other than those of Impressionism.

"Idea to make a career as a conceptual artist: sign children's drawings." -Roland Topor-

Poo poo pidoo !
The art gallery, Outsiders , offers original works. I like to stop there, admire paintings not always to my taste but inspired if not inspiring me. What's more, they often change the decorum, it's impossible to get bored ...
