Another church

I'm not sure what my obsession is with sketching churches lately.  Sometimes, they just remind me of a pretty community that feels like home (in this case, this one is in my hometown and I didn't do it justice).  In other instances, they provide the most beautiful architecture around.  Sometimes, it's the fact that people will build a church anywhere to capture that sense of community, in the most unlikely of places.  I must admit, I don't often go inside, but I am intrigued by the edifaces.



Don't forget to check out Sunday Sketches.  They will surely brighten up your Sunday!

  9. churches are wonderful structures - nothing architecturally portrays "community" and "town" than a nice, central church - or mosque, or other religious structure. I love this one! I particularly enjoy the detailed wooden slats
