A watercolor painting of a lively Parisian street scene with musicians playing in the cobblestone square and people walking past shops and cafes.

A Parisian square viewed from about 20 feet above street level, showing cobblestone streets and a small open square. Street musicians—an accordionist, violinist, and guitarist—play in the center as a few people casually watch. Classic Paris architecture with wrought-iron balconies, colorful shutters, and café terraces with striped awnings surrounds the square. Include subtle, slightly abstract Art Deco elements, with soft, luminous lighting reminiscent of Maxfield Parrish, quiet, moody compositional sensibility like Edward Hopper, and elongated, stylized figures inspired by Amedeo Modigliani. Rendered in delicate watercolor style with semi-abstract shapes, soft edges, and a painterly, atmospheric quality. See more
