Greg’s post this week on the Tour Du France reminded me of that trip abroad together. This was a drawing I had done entering the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles. The wonder, the enormity of it all was intense. It was the symbol of royal absolutism and the embodiment of classical French art. I had lived in Paris while in college but years had gone by since I’d been back. I was 15+ years older on that trip and yet, came home with new eyes and a new found appreciation for the love of Paris. Simply magical. – Michele
