I have not been on the board for a few weeks now. I volunteer to set up and sell at the local animal shelters rummage sale (twice a year) , and that takes a full week of long days. Then I need more time afterwards to return my neglected home and me back to normal. While I was at the rummage sale, another volunteer wanted to have a church painted on one of the roof slates rescued from a previous fire that damaged the church badly. So I just finished up the slate, but am thinking about painting another one on the reverse. Generic church..she didn't provide me with a photo of the real church. Thank goodness for that. I had a hard enough time getting this finished..

Thanks for looking.

Very nice painting of an old country church. Looks similar to the one I grew up in.

Beautiful !!! Our original Presbyterian church here in small town Ontario looked like that about a 150 yrs ago. It
burned down and then rebuilt in new location. Had our 165 yr anniversary last Oct.

It does look old doesn't it? It just came out that way....that's why I am glad she didn't give me a photo to go by. It still could have come out looking like this one...

I really like your church painting and the slate tile is a perfect object to pain on. It just is so perfect because little towns all across the continent had churches that had similar looks to yours. I would like that hanging in my home.

That is such a heartwarming compliment. I get so critical of my work, and this one I ended up almost doing over I was so discontented with it. So it is wonderful to hear that others like it.
