Ok, “Gotham”???
Ok, again, not sure how to architecturally title this … a very different church steeple from the ubiquitous white, lapstrake, conservative type that are most prevalent – and that I truly love. This one has an all-metal spire … green tarnished, not sure the metal type (copper/tin/??). But all metal, angular, very city-like (Gotham, but definitely not a NYC church) … and all topping a solid, no-nonsense tower of brick. So, I don’t know, but that’s where Gotham comes into mind.
The church has two beautiful stained-glass windows … both crosses … blue on top, red below (heaven/earth). A very powerful structure.
As for the painting, I like how the metal steeple turned out. I think I captured the multiple edges/perspectives to the structure (it’s not a simple 3 or 4 sided steeple: it angles in-and-out, probably 6 sided or so. I’m also happy with my sky/background.
All-in-all, a good effort for me, a very pretty and strong edifice!
… and a detail …
FYI … this painting for sale in my Steeple Project Gallery … 🙂
