Poppy Discovers Leo and Pipo

In preparation for her trip to Paris, Poppy has been studying all she can about the French culture.
The young artist found the most interesting story about street art.


Leo and Pipo are two Frenchmen who anonymously put up enlarged black and white pictures of people who lived years ago on buildings in Paris.  The young men hail from the French suburbs where family life is most important and wanted to send the message of being connected to one another
 to the more independent residents of Paris.










How wonderful!


 Poppy is inspired.

Later...
 Poppy's Madeline paper doll fits just perfectly between the siding of her homestead.
Poppy loves bright colors and paper dolls and think Leo and Pipo would approve of her version of "house art"...especially since Madeline lives in Paris herself!


 Poppy wonders how long it will take for someone to notice Madeline.

A few minutes later...
 Thomas and Bella are taken quite by surprise by Madeline and can't help but smile and share an understanding laugh.


 Thomas knows his daughter very well and guesses she has come across the work of the French street artists, Leo and Pipo, in her research for her trip.


Bella wonders if Poppy has any ideas about putting some of her work up on a few buildings in Paris.
If her artist daughter does, Bella may just help her!

~Imagination is everything~
