Sketches of Uccle

"Eglise Saint Pierre", oil on 15x15cm canvas

I'm working on some small oil studies of Uccle. I found images of Saint Peter's Church in Google Street View but preferred the older links when Le Parvis had a brighter facade:  link


"Eglise Saint-Job", oil on 10x10cm canvas
(private collection, Uccle)

Another iconic Uccle landmark is the church on Place Saint-Job. Here it is in Street View: Link


"Rue Xavier De Bue", oil on 13x18cm canvas panel
(private collection, Drogenbos)

The painting above was started from my stand at "Place(s) à l'Art" in 2013 and recently completed using reference photographs. 

"Le Doyenné", oil on 13x18cm canvas panel

I also found a nice view of the 18th century presbytery behind Saint Peter's Church on Google Street View: link.  The building now serves as a cultural center with space for art exhibits.
