Montmartre Rue de l' Abreuvoir From Place Dalida

This is the finished painting. I finished the toning of the various sections to the eye to La Maison Rose Restaurant at the corner and used the lighted windows in the center to guide the eye and to draw the viewer back to the corner. I added two windows to the nearest house on the left to take the viewer back to a staring place. The image reproduced a little bit more contrasted than the original. If the original miniature is put under clear glass and is properly lit it will resemble the digital photo more closely. It is amazing how proper lighting and clear museum quality den glass can give beauty and depth to a water color. I do hope this miniature was worth the wait.

Stanton, you seem to have posted two of the same painting... you may want to change this situation...

Artist Reply: I know. I wanted one to appear forming a line of completion and the other to appear in the sub-gallery in which it truly belongs. The problem with what I have done is that it splits the comments. I have done this before and I can't make up my mind what to do. Do you have any suggestions? I really hate to destroy the line of succession of Birth of A Painting. However, it seems that at some point I will have to prune the Birth of a painting gallery.
