Four Corners sketch … steeple project

Beginning a new piece! Actually, began it couple weeks ago, but am late to the blog … gotta get better discipline (and keep life at bay)! 🙂

This one is based upon a church I saw that has, in addition to the top steeple cross, 4 smaller crosses, one at each corner at the base of the steeple proper. Of course, I understand how 4 works into the archetectural equation, but my painting will show 3 … which works better for me, spiritually, than 4. The model church looks quite dignified, I really like the basic looks.

Here’s the initial sketch. Of course, I’m using the letterpress text sheets I printed, I think that is working well as secondary basic format. Don’t think I’ve mentioned it before, I printed on Rives BFK paper: I love this paper, have used it for printing, drawing, painting for years. It’s a mould made paper from France. I think it’s 280 # and is very smooth, soft to touch, and is 100% cotton.  Pricey, but I love it!

Will post completed piece soon!
