This is the 3rd time that I've painted the little church of St Cewydd in Disserth, near my village. The first was in watercolour, the 2nd was in oils and now this one, in acrylics on Cryla paper.
I've been wanting to get a photo of this view for years but somehow never got around to it, as there are no parking places along the very narrow lane and it involves climbing a steep hill if you park at the church. One chilly Sunday morning a few weeks back we finally did it and, between us, we managed to get quite a few images in the bag. This view is from about halfway up the hill. Nothing I paint can really do this charming church justice but I'll keep on trying.

Beautifully done, Gillian! The kind of place I'd love to jsut stroll around leisurely and explore. I love old buildings.
This painting is beautiful, you can keep on trying but in my opinion you already did a great job! Your painting has a dreamy atmosphere that I love!!! Congrats!
I like the autumnal colours you have used with this. I'm glad you took the trouble to climb the hill!
Love the glowing light on the building and tower behind. Beautifully rendered, Gillian, and since I've not seen this charming church in photos, I must say your art makes me think this is a very special place!
Love the colours in this Gillian.
Have to disagree with you, Gillian. Your beautiful work just adds to the church's beauty. This is stunning!
Oh you did do it justice, at least from where I'm sitting. This is a lovely piece.
Wonderful nestled little cottage Gillian. Love your autumn tones!
It's a lovely place to view the church from, the autumn trees and colours really draw your eye in.
