..a soundtrack Cary Grant is accompanied to in scenes from his Paris-as-a-backdrop movies. Traditional happy accordions sounds but this new thing is pretty sweet too
Don't speak French but love female french singers like Pauline Croze. The NY based group Ivy had a singer Dominique Durand from France whose songs in English melt my heart. https://variety.com/2020/music/news/adam-schlesinger-other-band-ivy-best-songs-1203552704/ Check out Ivy if you like to hear more!
My best!
That's a whole lot of detail work!

You did a great job balancing this painting. I really like the details on the tower above the almost liquid flow of the grass below it. Its all balanced beautifully with nothing feeling like its overdone or that it needs more work. I love it!
