I made Braden drive back by it so I could check it out again, and sure enough, it was painted from the angle to the left of the fountain above & included a little more in its view, but it was unmistakeably the very same little square in St. Paul de Vence in France. The same windows, the same fountain, the plants still there on the restaurant ledge, the umbrellas (they were popped open in his painting), the same sloping wall on the right...ahhh, seeing it took me right back to being there--so beautiful!

st paul de vence
On Sunday afternoon we drove past Safeway to get to another store in the same shopping center. They were having an art sale for charity, so paintings were hung up, propped up and stacked outside the store. As we passed the store, a huge painting caught my eye because it was a painting of this very spot in St Paul de Vence that I painted years ago when I was there! How crazy is that?!
