I
like sketching churches, especially Russian churches with
their onion domes. The Holy Resurrection Russian Orthodox
Church in Kodiak is no exception. Often a painting will
be fine with just the church, but its more fun to
add some of the congregation. This small group added sharp
contrast and focal point with their black clothes against
all the color. As per Russian custom, ladies attending church
wear a scarf covering their head and gentlemen remove their
hats.
