One of my favorite paintings


This is a series oil painting I did of the Eiffel Tower.  A series is when you break the picture up into sections and make each one different-in this case, I did the tower at dawn, mid day, evening, and night, going across the picture from left to right.  My favorite part is the blended sky at dawn-hard to get right, but I feel like I did it. 

My art teacher was very...cold kind of, and she didn't like me.  So when I got my first A+ and it was on this painting, I knew I'd done a decent job.

Here's the painting beside the picture I drew from:

  5. My lack of expertise tells me this is a great painting. You should do something similar with the Cathedral in Oakland.
