It was a great privilege to observe from the banks of the Seine River in Paris, the Notre Dame Cathedral being restored. It was a labor of love that built that edifice in the 1200s, and here, hundreds of years later, love was in evidence again as a bevy of workers, with cranes and pulleys and scaffolding, were bringing that Cathedral of Our Lady back to life. Painting it en plein air—in the true French tradition in Paris, France, no less—was my labor of love, a moment in history to be savored and one I will never forget.
This painting will be available for purchase through the California Art Club, starting on December 4, 2026. Or please contact me at [email protected].
