I might even probably uncover a few dozen subjects in themselves just looking at the buildings around me, the people behind windows, some dressed, some not, having a cup of coffee in the kitchen or watching TV or even just having a stroll between four walls and possibly talking to themselves in the privacy of their apartments.\u00a0For those wondering where\u00a0St Jacques in Paris is, <a

showing the buildings around the area, and catching glimpses of the lives that are unfolding before our very eyes at various moments of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My number 1 watercolour of Saint Jacques was dedicated to mornings, a minute description of what was going on at day-break with people having breakfast, walking around in their bathrobes or even working from home as I do so often myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-6061 size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"583\"
