"View from the River Boat"

Artist: Esperanza Deese

Medium: Acrylic on Board

Dimensions: 8 x 10

About this Artwork:  Nine years ago, I had the chance to visit Paris. One of the modes of transport that I enjoyed was the "Batobus" (literally translated "boat-bus") which is a hop-on hop-off ferry boat that traverses the Seine River with stops at each of the famous landmarks of Paris.  This artwork is based on a photo I took of the Eiffel Tower as we were cruising by it one evening.  The photo was slightly wonky but I liked that it shares the perspective from a boat passenger.  Hence I painted it that way to share that experience with the viewer.
