As requested... I give you La Tour Eiffel painted by moi (both paintings are availale)...
The Eiffel Tower (French: Tour Eiffel) is a 19th century iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris that has become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The Eiffel Tower, which is the tallest building in Paris is the single most visited paid monument in the world; millions of people ascend it every year. Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance arch for the 1889 World's Fair.
The tower stands at 324 m (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-story building. It was the tallest structure in the world from its completion until 1930, when it was eclipsed by the Chrysler Building in New York City. Not including broadcast antennas, it is the second-tallest structure in France, behind the Millau Viaduct, completed in 2004.
The tower has three levels for visitors. Tickets can be purchased to ascend either on stairs or lifts to the first and second levels. The walk to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the walk from the first to the second level. The third and highest level is accessible only by lift. Both the first and second levels feature restaurants.
The tower has become the most prominent symbol of both Paris and France, often in the establishing shot of movies set in the city.
and the making of the Tower...

Wonderful, it must be lovely being in Paris, here in England we have a similar version of the Eiffel Tower at Blackpool, but Blackpool is not Paris, not so romantic a place, though very nice.
Loved the paintings they are excellent.
Have a lovely day.

I love the second painting. I would call it "steel and heels" ;)
I seriously love those paintings! But alas, I have no job or money right now.
I've been fortunate enough to see the Eiffel Tower with my son when he was 13. Great fun!
Have a great day,
Lisa
