"Radiant Congregation"

Recently I have been painting outdoors when the weather permits. There seem to be more colors in the winter landscape than in the summer. At least there are a lot more subtle variations of browns and grays. What exactly is the color are bare branches? Sort of a purplish brown or a greenish gray? I never seem to get it exactly right, which is why I keep at this, I suppose. I simply wanted to match the colors I saw in this painting, though there is something touching about how the two buildings seems to be having some kind of conversation.
