Log Cabin Church

1978 study for the painting below (featured on the homepage and 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
