Place du Tetre

 This Place du Tetre is where you go if you want a quick self-portrait.  You even have a choice of style - some will offer you a caricature, others a very naturalistic pencil portrait, and others still a more abstract ink and water-colour version. 

You can see that la Place is only a few steps to the left of the Sacrée Cœur.  Here we have an artist, and his young model.

I took this right as I was being accosted by this particular artist.  You see him pointing at me...now imagine him saying, with a thick accent, "You! You are perfect for my style!" 
That is what I call the perfect way to sell your work: compliment people, make them feel they are worth your time and artistry.  His work was in water-colour. 

I like this place.  The buildings are beautiful.  And all of the artists really dress the part, which adds to the "french" atmosphere.  They make sure to wear bérets and cosy vests and sweaters.
