Painting 2 of 13: Old Quebec City (Quebec)

The second painting I completed was Old Quebec City in Quebec. When I was trying to choose a location to paint in Quebec, Old Quebec City was really the only option for me. Old Quebec is incredibly rich in cultural heritage and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985. Everything about this city is so beautiful... it will make you feel like you've stepped out of Canada and into old world Europe.

Old Quebec boasts very unique castle-like architecture, the most prominent example being the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac which is featured in my painting. If you look closely, you can also spot Cathedral-Basilica of Notre-Dame de Québec, which has a rooftop cross that pierces the skyline; the Louis St. Laurent Building (old post office) with its rooftop clock; and the Funiculaire du Vieux-Quebec, a popular tourist attraction that links the upper and lower levels of the city.
