"Pigeon Whisperer"

18" x 24" Framed Watercolor

I saw this French Man sitting in the Plaza outside of  Notre Dame in Paris, one late October afternoon. I was mesmerized with the way the pigeons allowed him to hold them long after the seeds he had been feeding them were gone. I imagine this was a daily diversion with his "friends" to while away the long afternoons. One can linger long, looking into his eyes, imagining sadness perhaps, or seeing beyond that into the depths of his life's experiences. Perhaps longing for the past? Perhaps grateful for a full life. That, can be determined by the viewer!
