Description
This scene is near the center of the old city of Tallinn, Estonia. It shows the steeple of Toomkirik (the Dome Church, a.k.a. St. Mary's) and surrounding roof lines. I painted this from photos I took in May 2008. At first glance, the impression is that the Toomkirik steeple is black. As I studied it, I was delighted with all the turquoise and red shades I found in it. I painted the building facade in the lower right in the local colors then created the deep purple shadow by overpainting with thin layers of ultramarine blue and alizarin crimson. I compressed the original view quite a bit, moving the building on the right closer to the steeple to create a more interconnected abstract pattern of shapes.
