A Church Sketch

Drive down along Westchester Avenue toward downtown Port Chester and you'll likely pass this beautiful church of Our Lady of Mercy Roman Catholic Church built in 1894.  

 Across the street is the local library where I found a spot on the front door steps to what was once used as the main entrance.  It offered an elevated view of the scene.

No picture of my sketch on location that time but I went back the following morning to take this photo right from the same spot.
