Cafe de Flores Diptich

Cafe de Flores Diptich


This client had a formal living room with two huge built-in niches! She wanted art, but couldn't find anything appropriate. We went over photos with her that we had shot ourselves in Paris and she chose the "Cafe des Flores," a popular sidewalk restaurant in the St Germaine de Pres area. We had the stretcher bars built to the exact size of the niches, then Jerald painted two paintings. The bottom one is the cafe, and the top one is the top of the building! Notice the tree and balcony flowers continuing into the top painting. We fastened them into the niches with velcro, so that, if she ever wants to, she can take them out and have a gorgeous original oil painting to put anywhere in her home.
