Inspired by Paris

I snapped this photo while going through the Notre Dome in Paris. This is what I found out about these tapestries. .

Two tapestries by Henri Matisse are high above the first chapel dedicated to Noah and the Creation. Matisse began creating pieces from paper cut-outs in 1941. Inspired by his time in Tahiti, he made the Diptyque Polynesia, the Sky, in 1946. The Beauvais manufacturer created the first woven tapestry in 1964, ten years after Matisse’s death. Since then, four more versions have been crafted, including the 1971 version hanging in Notre Dame.

The size of the church is incredible!

The Tuileries Garden was a spring delight! 

Inspiration! Formal or not?

Seeing beauty walking down the street.

We went to the Museum d'Orsay, which is an old train station. 

You may have seen this on my personal page. The details are magnificent.
