Lost Art #11: Place Georges Pompidou, Paris

This week's Lost Art painting was left on the slope of ground in front of the Centre Georges Pompidou. It was a fun place to paint, and it seems like a natural place for some Lost Art to become "found." It's also my first painting on found concrete, which made it a lot of fun to carry across town :). If anybody does find it, and want to keep it, they'll have to work a little to get it home! I'm heading off to the countryside for a few weeks, so this will be the last one in Paris until the end of August. As always, if you know anyone in the neighborhood, who might find this piece, please feel free to share!




This painting, oil on a fragment of exposed aggregate concrete, 34.5 cm x 20.5 cm, was left at Place Georges Pompidou on July 29, 2014 at 1pm.

If you have found this piece, please let me know in the comments!

Lost Art #10: Place Dauphine, Paris

Lost Art continues in Paris again this week, this time at the Place Dauphine on the Île de la Cité. So far, there have still been no confirmed finds in Paris, so some lucky person has a chance to become the first Parisian participant if they discover this painting! I'll be in Paris again next week, and then out in the countryside for a few weeks (where I might leave a painting in some unsuspecting small village!) so this might be the last couple of chances to find one in Paris before the fall. Let me know if you or anyone you know might have found one! And I hope you're all having a great summer!




This painting, oil on found hardboard, 22.2 cm x 20.5 cm, was left at Place Dauphine on July17, 2014 at 1pm.

Lost Art #9: Avenue de France, Paris

Lost Art makes its triumphant return to Paris, France this week! 

I'm very happy to report that Lost Art #8 was found and given a home last week in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania on my trip to the United States. You can read all about that one here

Today's painting, #9, is on a bench overlooking the train tracks on Avenue de France, near the intersection of rue George Balanchine, in the neighborhood between Bibliothèque and the Pont de Bercy. As always, there's a map below to help you out if you're searching for it! I'm excited to be back in Paris and hoping that some of the paintings I do here over the summer will be discovered. Be sure to sign up for the blog if you want receive all the updates!
