This view of Main Street Williamsville includes a few of the locally owned shops and a view of Saint’s Paul and Peters church.This was around dusk so the sky has a nice color. The original painting is available.

I was walking around Island Park at dusk and I looked up and I noticed I could see the steeple from Saints Paul & Peter Church on Main street. Normally it's not visible when the leaves are on the trees but this was in fall. I never thought to paint the church from this vantage point. I quickly framed the steeple between the two center branches of the tree. I later used the photo references to complete the painting in my studio. This painting is available.

I recently completed a smaller version of this painting with Goldens QOR watercolor sample and I liked it enough to paint it again as a larger piece. It's not exactly the same composition because the first one was square whereas this is rectangular, which allows me to paint more of the surrounding area.

The church in the background is Saints Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church–the steeple is a very familiar Williamsville landmark and has been featured in a couple of my other paintings. Also, the white building in the front right is the same building from "The Repair Shop" watercolor painting.​
