"The City of Lights inspires many memories for me, both as an artist and as a romantic. When my wife Nanette and I were first married we promised each other that on some future anniversary we would visit Paris for the first time together. On our third anniversary we fulfilled that dream, and my artistic heart was forever changed. Wandering the city I was greeted by the same boulevards that inspired master impressionists like Monet, Pissarro and Renoir a century ago. I couldn't resist donning my beret and attempting to embody their artistic vision of color and light.
In Morning on the Boulevard I create a mood of classic impressionism with a subject befitting the French masters of the past. Spreading chestnut trees, horse drawn carriages, and period fashions suggest a genteel era, and the vigorous brushstrokes and dappled sunlight is pure impressionism. This is a sunny summer morning that suggests a "boulevard of dreams" from long ago." - Thomas Kinkade
