Day Sixteen - Paris Cathedral

The Church of St-Germain-des-Pres
Oil on Linen Panel  8 x 6"
The oldest Church in Paris, but most of it has been rebuilt many times, is the Church of St-Germain-des-Pres. This was a difficult exercise for me but something I've been wanting to paint since my first trip to Paris. Hopefully it will get easier because there are many more beautiful Cathedral's on my list.

I caught my breath a little when I saw it, so I think you nailed it.

Maggie and Robert thank you again you are very kind.
The photo was a good one. I started it yesterday morning about 6:30 and with about an hour break I finished it up at 10.
Started with a transparent red oxide toned canvas and wiped out the lights.
