Description:
Watercolor, framed, PR of frame
This piece is a study done by the artist. The artist was unsatisfied and decided to paint it again, resulting in 2010.34.001 "The Good Book"

This piece has a hexagonal building in the center with a round gold object on the top. There are dormer windows in the roof, and windows on each of the sides of the building. The building is blue, green and white and has a smaller building coming of the PL side with a blue steeple. A white sidewalk surrounds the building where a priest in a blue robe with red hair and beard reads a white and yellow book. Green grass and trees make up the rest of the painting.
Notes:
"I was sketching this Russian Orthodox Church one beautiful warm spring day when the priest appeared. He was leisurely strolling around the church reading a book it was but assumed it must be the Bible, hence the title."
