Towers & SpiresI've been working on this one for a couple of weeks and just finished yesterday. Margot helped me figure out how to attach all the large metal bits. The two brass church facades were a swap meet score about a year ago, and the central door I found this summer up in Sebastopol.

The background was done in Golden acrylics, using cross stencils and masks, and two sizes of
puncinella . Xerox copies of English church spires and towers were coloured with water soluble oil pastels and provide not only visual interest but the title as well.

A wooden cross surmounts the copper painted door that opens to reveal a picture of a heavy wooden gate topped with a
santos angel.

The final touch, ghostly wisps of an
Anne Bagby stamp
that suggest ecclesiastical grill work.
