This beautiful church is just up the hill from the Yellow Farmhouse Winery in Defiance, MO.  I was attracted to the look of the gleaming steeple in the fall afternoon sunlight.

I painted this one using a limited palette of ultramarine deep, cobalt blue, perm. alizarin crimson, and raw sienna (all are Holbein pigments).
