Day Ten - There She Is

There She Is
Oil on Linen Panel   16 x 8"

This is the first time I've painted the Eiffel Tower. I found it to be a challenge in itself. The day I took this photo I was on a bus returning from the Musee' Marmottan Monet. I was on the other side of town from where I was staying in the Latin Quarter in 2009. So I was on the bus on my way back when the bus came to this observation area and there she was! Big and bold right in front of me. I headed toward her and snapped this photo. There were many more people on the corridor but I decided to omit them.

I continued to walk and walk and walk and finally I was looking way up. My feet were killing me so I grabbad a cab back to the Quarter..
