Café de Flore


"Café de Flore" ©2009 Niki Gulley
8" x 10" oil painting

This café scene was inspired from our spring trip to Paris. The corner café is such a quintessential ingredient in Parisian life, that it was one of the first subjects I just had to paint from our journey. I love how you can sit for several hours in the afternoon sipping your coffee, people watching and decompressing without anyone rushing you. In this painting, I wanted to capture this brief moment in time on a typical day in Paris.

If you'd like to see this painting or more Paris scenes from our trip, please stop by our studio as part of the White Rock Artists' Studio tour in Dallas, Oct. 17th and 18th or visit NikiGulley.com.

I'm happy to answer questions at niki@nikigulley.com.
