I didn’t appreciate it in high school, but I’m sure I’d see it differently now.

..a soundtrack Cary Grant is accompanied to in scenes from his Paris-as-a-backdrop movies. Traditional happy accordions sounds but this new thing is pretty sweet too

Don't speak French but love female french singers like Pauline Croze. The NY based group Ivy had a singer Dominique Durand from France whose songs in English melt my heart. https://variety.com/2020/music/news/adam-schlesinger-other-band-ivy-best-songs-1203552704/ Check out Ivy if you like to hear more!

My best!

You did a great job balancing this painting. I really like the details on the tower above the almost liquid flow of the grass below it. It’s all balanced beautifully with nothing feeling like it’s overdone or that it needs more work. I love it!
