        This is a watercolour I did this afternoon, memorialising the tragedy of the Cathedral of Notre Dame fire. As an architect and as an artist it really struck a chord.

        My source image was something I saw on a video on Global News, when the camera turned to the altar, and the cross was still standing, smoke all around, and the light which was so theatrical and surreal.

        As long as there is light, I will paint it.

            it was touching to learn the news from the news.

            your work is a masterpiece,
            it hits a lot, transmits strong emotions

                it’s always hard to look at distruction, but painting it can bring back memories.

                What a beautiful yet tragic scene. You’ve captured the destruction and the beauty of that moment. Well done!

                        yes this is good. make me wonder if it was man made fire as over hundred churches burn in France in one year all started by people.

                        but the cross still there unhurt

                        ideas is like the stars in Heaven, just grab one and hang on and if it do not work out grab another one:)
