Chapel of the Cross

16 x 20 oil on canvas board

Finally completed and signed this one.....tough getting those roof angles just right.  I spent most of the time painting with the canvas upside down....don't know how those plein air painters can do all those angles when you can't turn the actual scene upside down!!!  Funny how the lighting changes depending on when you take the photograph.  The colors are the same as in the "in progress" one but just taken, this time, in late afternoon sun.  

Chapel of the Cross .....still in progress

16 x 20 oil on canvas board

Just posting today what I have been working on for several days.  This is one of the oldest churches in the area and is located outside of Madison, MS.  It is an old Episcopal church and is still in use today.  I have been attempting to get the drawing correct without it being too "drawey" as my friend Bee says.    Obviously I haven't finished it yet because I have not done much to the background at all but hopefully I can finish before the week is over.
