This is the finished painting. I finished the toning of the various sections to the eye to La Maison Rose Restaurant at the corner and used the lighted windows in the center to guide the eye and to draw the viewer back to the corner. I added two windows to the nearest house on the left to take the viewer back to a staring place. The image reproduced a little bit more contrasted than the original. If the original miniature is put under clear glass and is properly lit it will resemble the digital photo more closely. It is amazing how proper lighting and clear museum quality den glass can give beauty and depth to a water color. I do hope this miniature was worth the wait.
