Paris on the Parade

"It feels just like Montmartre," we were told.
Paris on the Parade, in Adelaide Australia - possible?  Mais oui!

Four artists painting portraits of only female passersby.  Pourquoi?

It was Mothers Day, and the Norwood Parade Precint Committee asked ART LOGIC to organise something special to say thank you to Mothers. 

Mothers got to sit down and rest while our artists painted their portraits - one mother was moved to tears, she hadn't just stopped and gazed into empty space in 10 years.

Ahhh, les cheres mamans!
