There's no way to say this without sounding pretentious, so here goes. This summer while we were in Paris we bought an oil painting from this artist outside of the Musée d'Orsay.

We finally got it framed, all of these months later, and we hung it in the living room on Saturday. This is what it looks like:

It's not too Thomas Kinkade, is it?

I don't think so. Besides being a real oil painting of the Eiffel Tower made by a real French painter, it's a pretty cool memory, too.
