Victor Gabriel Gilbert
Victor Gabriel Gilbert is a lesser known artist who painted a lot a scenes from Paris street cafes. Why am I drawn to these pictures? I love the look of purpose on the little washerwoman’s face. I’ve never had a daughter (until my son married) – the learning of grown up tasks by practicing them as a child appeals to me. Finally, I’m a sucker for outdoor French market scenes, particularly the baskets of produce.
If you are posting a picture today, leave a comment to let me know. Even if you’re not xanga (xanga-schmanga – I wish it were easier) you can set up an identity in two minutes and let me know. I love looking at your fine art offerings!

Wonderful blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News.
Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying
for a while but I never seem to get there! Thanks
