PARIS PAINTOUT


Eglise Saint-Louis (10 x 8 Oil on canvas panel)

This is my May entry to Bill Guffy's VIRTUAL PAINTOUT blog site. Strolling down rue Saint-Louis en I'lle I was taken by these beautiful carved doors with cherubs overhead. The patina on the weathered old stone walls with varied warm and cool grays is fantastic. I love painting details and knew I had to try making a painting of this site.

To see my source photo use the Google map system and enter "30 rue Saint-Louis en I'lle, Paris, France". Then pan to the doors , and click the "Full screen" button.

These two photos show the beauty of the Church interior. This baroque style Church was built between 1664 and 1675.
