Let's go to church...                             There's Church in the Mornin'

My newest painting  is an oil on panel of Dewey Christian Church. It will be somewhat impressionist in nature and will hopefully carry with a sense of nostalgia, family, future and the need for God in our lives.
This is after gesso and a few hours work. On this one, I have worked with darks and shadows first; after the oil paint becomes a little bit tacky, I will begin adding light and details. I'll post a photo when it is finished...or when I find a good stopping place.:)

Picture"through my creativity I serve God." ...this a quote that I read often. This gift is for my church family and friends.
Well, it took a different turn. My friend Megan had sent a beautiful photo to me that one of her friends had taken of our church one night. It was amazing but the detail was not there at all. I kept coming back to this photo and decided to do a somewhat impressionistic version of our beautiful church. It still needs a little more work after it dries again.
The title is:
"There's Church in the Mornin'"
Hope you like it.

The mood is what strikes me in this painting. It feels solemn, but not sad. It feels reverent and whole.

Cristy,
Solemn but not sad, reverent and whole...a description of this painting that I had not written but it is what is in my heart. Thank you.
I will send a card to you when I get them. Love you!

    I have always enjoyed the beauty of the East TN mountains where I was born and raised. I am aware of my blessings and appreciate them. My art shares these blessings with others and instills them deeper inside myself.
