Rooftops, Paris



Rooftops, Paris

Oil on board 12x15 inches


Had a bit of fun with this one. I was a bit disappointed in Paris earlier this year (not the city itself!)- I was really excited about seeing all the artists at Monmatre, but when I got there it seemed that everyone was knocking out stock postcard image paintings of the Eiffel Tower. They all looked identical and destined for the tourists.


I wanted to paint the tower but make it different. The weather was poor so painted this from sketches and photo references with pallette knife
