Log Cabin Church

1978 study for the painting below (featured in the previous post ‘Love’)

This 1981 acrylic painting of Log Cabin Church is my personal favorite work. I painted this for my godparents. They were members here. My godmother always said this was my masterpiece. I discovered this beautiful church in 1973. I saw the buildings as reflecting the two testaments of the Christian Bible. I took artistic license and replaced the road in front of the church with a shadow. The shadow is a metaphor. Evil is approaching the church. Satan has always been after the church.

Life painted the shadow
God paints the sky
