Damn You, Napoleon III !

 Painting details, from the interior of the Palais Garnier, Paris. 

Goodness, this thing is complex! One aspect of painting I really enjoy is that the act of painting it makes you really look at it.

The Palais Garnier is breathtaking just about anywhere you look in it. But I can't believe the amount of detail and finesse in even the smallest parts. The level of artistry and skill employed, and the recognition of it all adding up to a unified whole is gobsmacking.

Oh! Well, suddenly, this is looking marblelous! (ba-dum-*cha*!)

Finally!

 I've been painting cities this last little while, and hadn't done a portrait for some time. This one took a while to polish up properly, but I think it all worked out.

It's got an unusual title, but - there ya go.
