Our Lady

On my second day, I wanted to

go and paint the Notre Dame

Cathedral. It was a beautiful

morning, and I took a taxi,

along with two of my group. I

set up in front, and did this

small watercolor in my book.

Another young artist came and

sat beside me. She pulled out

her paints and pad, and just began

painting away. She told me she

was from Belgium, and was writing

and illustrating a children's fairy

tale. The setting was Paris, and she

was in town painting the landmarks

to be included in the book...I wished

her well, and happy painting!

I photographed the cathedral from every angle, and will do some

more finished paintings of it. I went inside, and they were having

a mass, and there was heavenly music playing, and voices raised in

praise...beautiful.
