Description

Three Towers gives a bird’s-eye-view over the rooftops of Provincetown punctuated by three church steeples like exclamation points against the water and a long horizontal line of the distant shore. Blue and grey colors predominate a cloudy day. The townscape is animated by numerous interactions between color and light.
