Colorful Impressionist Painting of Cathedral of Saint retailer Bernadette in Lourdes France, Giclee Print of the Original

This product is a giclee print of an original painting. Each print comes rolled carefully in a mailing tube and arrives unframed so that you can frame it to your own taste. The process of getting the best print quality includes scanning the original on a professional scanner, color correcting to make sure that the colors are as exact as possible, and then finally printing the print with a professional grade ink jet printer.

Lourdes, France, is a painting that I completed in 2022. In college, I went on a pilgrimage with a large group of fellow students to Rome, France, and Spain. I took many photographs while there, many of which inspired the paintings for my senior show in 2011. Lourdes was a beautiful, small town in the hills in France. As it was a major retailer Marian feast day when we went, the city was crammed with people. While there, we were able to touch and hold St. Bernadette's sock. My engagement ring was blessed with her sock as well! I have tried to go back to the basics with this painting. I have painted using layer upon layer, employing broad strokes to deconstruct the forms.
