Trinity Episcopal Church Paint by Number, 2019. Acrylic on wood panel, 4 x 8 feet.
Special thanks to Heather for the progress pictures. What a fantastically progressive church with such a rich architectural history. It was so much fun to work with church members to come up with the symbols and ideas they wanted to use to represent their faith for this piece!
Church in Bonn, 2010
I don’t remember what this church is called, but it was the first old church we visited. This was quite an experience for those of us whose countries have newer infrastructure; we don’t usually see buildings older than a hundred or so years. I remember there was a crypt in this church, but we couldn’t go down to see inside.

Church of Sao Roque, Lisbon by Anita363 One of the earliest Jesuit churches, it was begun in 1555. It served as the Jesuit headquarters in Portugal for over 200 years, until they were expelled from the country after being implicated in an attempted coup. The unusual trompe l'oeil Mannerist ceiling is by Francisco Venegas and was painted 1584–1586. The central medallion (which rather spoils the effect) is a later alteration, as are the bible scenes around the edges. https://flic.kr/p/2iuDDgc
