Once in a while I like to paint in watercolor, so yesterday I thought I'd paint the church - the second one, built in 1852, which stood until 1911. I based the majority of the painting off of this postcard, but since the trees obscure the view of the top of the church in that picture, I based the steeple on this photograph. That may be why the perspective looks a little off ... the bottom of the church looks like it's seen from below, while the steeple looks like it's seen from above. Oh well.
Since neither of those pictures is in color (the postcard had color applied after, which doesn't count) the colors in my painting are largely conjecture.
