July 1st we have an art event called
"Paint the Town"
here in Loveland Ohio
I went and picked up my artist packet
this afternoon over at
Loveland Hardware Store
The people at the store are always so nice
I like that place a lot!
So I am working on doing a oil painting
of the Loveland Presbyterian Church
It is a spectacular building and I love the look of it
So here is the way I decided to start my painting
with the help of a photo and trace it to a clear plastic sheet
then project it to the size I need right on the canvas

| this window is going to be the hardest thing to recreate |
Happy painting my friends
say a prayer for me
may have bit off more than my
palette knife can chew

oh, good luck! your cityscapes are gorgeous, but trying to fit to a building - and a church, even - would be intimidating. :)
It's good to accept a challenge because you learn a lot! I'm sure you'll do great! patsy

Woah hats off to you girl--that is a beautiful building and scene and it looks like you've managed to capture it pretty well already in pencil.
How brave to tackle a stained glass window--from a distance! I'll be checking back to see how it goes!

I love how devoted you are to your art, and how you keep challenging yourself!
My projector is on the wall and can be adjusted, quite ungainly, but it was purchased back in the 1970s. Fun, now if I just clear off the drafting table under it, I could use it again, lol. Good luck with the picture. Yes, it is a challenge. I look forward to seeing it as you work on it. Blessings, Janet PPF
oh wow. This will be amazing!
Interesting project & beautiful scene for your project:)

Thank you so must for showing your process. can't wait to see your beautiful church.
I have missed your blog, but here I am.. :)
What a piece you are working on, it must be quite a work - and those windows, not easy.. I'm looking forward to see when it's completed!
Greetings from Viola :)
