30 Day Painting Challenge - Day 14 - "Church Steeple" - 8 x 8 inches - oil on canvas - SOLD

"Church Steeple" - 8 x 8 inches - oil on canvas - SOLD

I don't have much experience painting architecture "en plein air" and wanted to challenge myself to see how I could do.  

When working from photos, it is very easy to translate a two dimensional image onto canvas but much harder in person.  I decided that I needed to keep things simple and just concentrate on the angles, shapes and values.

I stood on the sidewalk and painted during an overcast morning.  It was fairly chilly so I relished a hot shower and cup of tea when I got home.
