Paris Pink

PARIS PINK, 18X24

There’s a quote from the movie “Sabrina” where she’s writing to her father about Paris. She says:

“Across the street, someone is playing ""La Vie En Rose. '" They do it for the tourists but I'm always surprised at how it moves me. It means seeing life through rose-colored glasses. But only in Paris, where the light is pink could that song make any sense… but I'll have it in my pocket when I get home... and I'll take it with me wherever I go from now on.”

I always loved that movie, that quote and the way they showed Paris in that movie. When I got to the city, I was so surprised to see that Paris delivered on its reputation exactly. The buildings really all are five stories, cream colored with iron balconies and purple rooftops. There really are street cafes EVERYWHERE! There really are cobblestone streets and scooters and bikes and little flower boxes hanging out the windows and awnings and croissants and you really can see the beautiful Eiffel Tower from all over the city. It was exactly what I always imagined it would be and I was so pleasantly surprised to step right into the world of Paris. Even as we were leaving the Louvre, we were crossing one of the bridges over the Seine and someone started playing “La Vie En Rose.” I stopped and had my own moment of just breathing in the Paris pink, the rhythm of slowing down and savoring life and enjoying the beauty of it all. I vowed to bring that home with me.
