Paris at sunset

Ever since I can remember I've always dreamed of visiting Paris.  My dream turned into a reality when my dad and I traveled to Paris after the close of my study abroad program in Italy (Summer 2006). 

All of my preconceived notions proved true when I first stepped onto the Champs-Élysées and watched one of the most vivacious parts of Paris.  The high-end fashion, culture, arts and soft-spoken Parisian demeanor immediately drew me in. 

For those who don't know, I am an amateur artist.  I enjoy painting occasionally although I have never been formally trained.  My passion for the arts is enough to inspire and spark my creativity.  This is my painting of Paris at sunset....enjoy!
