This is the church at Peggy's Cove.
It's at 54 Peggy's Point Rd. Halifax N.S. Canada.
I have been working on several different google street views in Nova Scotia. I particularly like Peggy's Cove. There is a lighthouse there, lots of fishing boats and houses spread out on a bluff overlooking the sea.
Gemma, you have so much talent. I have never been able to draw/paint landscape. I just can't get the lay of the land. Wonderful painting, actually it's beautiful. It makes you feel like you want to be there. Thanks for sharing. Have a great Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a couple of bloggers doing this and it's so cool! I love your painting....it looks like I could just walk in the door of that church.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea and fantastic painting! I know that church and you really captured its essence. Interesting you're doing a Nova Scotia virtual paintout. Smart to choose Peggy's, it is a treasure here in Nova Scotia! Off to check out the other paintings, thanks so much Gemma.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a clean style, Gemma. I love this painting, this view. I always think of Ireland as both uber green and with rocky shores, for some reason. The sky is fabulous, the architecture lovely. Great, great job!!
ReplyDeleteHow charming! I love lighthouses and I adore your painting1 :)
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity of this picture and the contrast of the colours. It looks a peaceful place.
ReplyDeleteAnother Ruth. :)
ReplyDeleteMy brother the photographer loved Peggy's Cove and took many photos there. Your painting is very sweet.
I love this, it is really beautiful in its simplicity. I am loving the work you do with this challenge
ReplyDeleteThat's so pretty. The churches there are wonderful, aren't they!
ReplyDeleteIt looks inviting, welcoming. Nice work, as always. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteGemma, I love the colors - the roof of the church and the sky together are wonderful. Do you know what kind of church? This reminds me so much of the Episcopalian church in Bismarck here - from the pure white stucco (?) of the walls - even tho the roof is dark grey - to the style of the steeple. Our Lutheran churches here on the prairie are all clapboard siding.
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely image. Your stylization combined with the washes are perfect.
ReplyDeleteI really like this painting from the Virtual Paintout. Very effective.
