I know that many of my readers travel to Paris during the year, so today I am starting a new series ‘next month in Paris’. Each month I’ll endeavour to highlight an upcoming exhibition or show that you may like to include in your itinerary.
Today I want to tell you about the Eugène Boudin exhibition starting third week of March. This is a show that is in my diary, I plan to go with a friend in early April.
Eugène Boudin was born in normandy, and was one of the first painters to grab his easel and leave the atelier to paint ‘en plein air’. He didn’t stick to the Normandy coastline though, and he was seen with his easel painting through Europe.
He is known for his breathtaking skies, and it is said that Claude Monet admired his work and considered Boudin his master teacher.
The charm of this exhibition is that so many of these paintings no longer live in France. Boudin was a popular artist with the american clientele from the word go, and many of his canvases have never been shown in France before now.

Love your new monthly focus!
an exciting series….I'll be in Paris the first week in April, perfect timing
This series will absolutely interest my husband. I will have to read these to him. Looking forward to more.
This is very exciting. Where is this exhibition? Thank you for sharing.
What a great idea! Even though I won't be over (unless something wonderful happens), it's great to look at the exhibitions online.
Very beautiful! I especially love the river scene in the third picture. I look forward to seeing the delights of Paris each month!
What beautiful paintings! They are just wonderful. Thank you for sharing. I love your idea of writing about "next month in Paris". It makes me want to board a plane now.

Hi Sharon!!!!!
Thank you for this great idea!!! We are going to be so spoiled by all this information. I can't wait!! I really love the first picture as I have that theme ALL over my humble home. People say I was born at the wrong time because I so love the dresses, hats and just everything about that time era.
I know that we are the lucky ones ton have all this technology and we can get to know someone living very far from us through this, but, I really love wearing dresses and that time frame.
I so look forward to getting to know Paris!!
