Lost Mid-Alantic Church in Nelson County
This painting was conceptualized once I saw this Church or what remains of it on the side of a country road around here near my home. It's presence was impressive with its clean white clay brick towers where windows once stood. One could easily tell that its walls once held a congregation in prayer on any particular Sunday a century ago or so. Bringing it onto a canvas was a chore. It had to be painted with care and granted it was an interpretation and hopefully mistakes were forgivable for the sake of memorializing it as a home for the southern culture held within its walls. I played with the color of it and its fictional background. It was all for the sake of conveying the spiritual nature of this lost building of worship.
