About This Image

During my brief stay in Paris, I stayed in Montmartre at the base of the hill leading up to the beautiful basilica of Sacré-Cœur. Each day, on my way out to explore Paris, I glanced up the hill to that gleaming travertine church at the top. In a way, I guess it being right there made it easy to put off the climb, but on the prettiest day of my stay, I looked up that massive hill, and I set off to scale the stairs of the tallest hill in Paris.

There is a funicular, a type of train, that will carry you up the hill in Montmartre, but of course, I was having none of that. I wanted to make that climb to see Sacré-Cœur on my own two feet. Each and every landing on that walk up afforded its own unique angle on that beautiful Paris landmark.

That beautiful church at the top of the hill in Montmartre was built between 1875 and 1914 in the Romano-Byzantine style of architecture. I really liked Sacré-Cœur because it is so unlike the other churches you stumble upon in Europe. So unlike the massive Gothic cathedrals. It has, I think, a fairy-tale feel sitting at the top of this print. And all of the people are on a pilgrimage to the top of Montmartre to see the Sacred Heart of Paris!

I was a little surprised how many people there were making the climb with me, but it was after all an incredibly beautiful day in Paris. And I was glad for their company. Not just for their company on the long walk up Montmartre, but for the scale they lend this print. I love the sense of life to this Paris print. It feels like the living, breathing place it is. Not some massive piece of architecture on a lonely hill but a place populated with people. Don’t you agree?

Have you also made that long climb up the hill in Montmartre to see Sacré-Cœur? Does this Paris print speak to you on another level? I hope you might take a few seconds to let me know your favorite aspect of this Parisian scene!

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
