Chichester, West Sussex is an old Roman town. We went to see the city and its cathedral on a cold and gray day last Month. I go wild with Gothic cathedrals, but couldn't take a really good picture. Dang! The painting shows the side view of the front portal. On Palm Sunday, we went back for the Matins service. We sat in the choir area and heard the choir sing right next to us. It didn't seem appropriate to take pictures inside, so I can't show you the elegant interior of Chichester Cathedral. Sorry.

By the way, in case you are new to my blog, here is the scoop. Every month I challenge myself to do a series of paintings, then give away a print of the collage created with these paintings at the end of the month. The April Challenge is "I Love England." "Chichester Cathedral" is the third in the series. From now on, I am going to widen the circle for my monthly drawing to all my Facebook fans. I post a painting or two everyday. It is the best place to get the most up-to-date information about my artwork. Please "like" my page! Click
