Boats of Tuileries Garden


There was this wonderful fountain in the park to the right of the Louvre. A very smart man had a cart loaded with wonderful wooden boats for "rent". The kids would give him a euro for a stick to push a boat into the fountain and wait... for it to go to the other side. Then they would push it again... A very slow game that is for sure, but they seemed to think it was worth a euro. For me, it was a wonderful spot to take pictures. This is my first painting of the boats as they sat on the cart.
