Sacre Coeur

Painting by Vicky Christensen, acrylic on 18 X 24 inch canvas

You're thinking, Sacre Coeur? Well, a couple days ago I truly intended to do a painting of Sacre Coeur. You know, the cathedral in Paris. I had my reference photo ready and I did a yellow ochre underpainting, which I thought would be a great foundation for the late afternoon lighting in the photo. But I chickened out. Instead I decided to do an abstract using negative painting techniques.
