Paris, Notre Dame

A study from nature.
I understand completely, that painting of such species for post-cards is not the respectable occupation. But sometimes it is possible? Notorious Notre-Dame de Paris - from nature, the first time in my life! And not the fact that someday there will be a second time!
I sat down on a stool, laid out on the ground a paint-palette-jar-with-water-brush, a tablet-on my knees.. . I was immediately noticed by local street artists. I expected to see on their faces sullen suspicion, as once on the Arbat-street: "Is not it another competitor on our heads?" -
Not at all! Either the suspicion of them immediately evaporated, or whether such feelings are uncharacteristic! The Paris colleagues turned out to be nice, emotionally friendly and did not skimp on compliments. Only the very first one figured out what country I came from, the others, approaching, immediately spoke Russian.
