New Sweden

New Sweden, 8 x 6
SOLD

PAA met today out in Manor, Texas, about twenty-five miles from downtown Austin, to paint this vintage church built by Swedish settlers to central Texas. A plein air study doesn't do justice to the detail and craftsmanship that went into its construction. It was quite a challenge, but a lot of fun, even though it was chilly and windy. But I'm not complaining. 100ยบ temps are not far behind.
