I saw this handsome man and shy boy handing flowers to a lady at a market in Aix-en-Provence. I loved how they looked but didn't love the lady. So I thought, "Well, he could be handing ME flowers!" So I painted myself in instead (she'll never know). The little story of this painting is that she (I) have been reading a romance novel and am surprised by a man handing me flowers.

It COULD happen, right?
