Description
Little White Church By The Sea landscape. In this sunny painting, a small white church stands watch on a hill overlooking the azure ocean and blue sky. The church yard is covered in warm sandy gravel and stones. Green bushes and a flowering vine decorate the side wall. A golden cross tops the attached tower in which a bell hangs ready to call parishioners to worship. Grassy fields rising above the church are cordoned off by low stone fences.
The viewer has the perspective of looking down, perhaps from a nearby hill top. This elevation creates a sense of wide expanse. The church positioned between the viewer and horizon allows the eye a place to rest before continuing through the painting. Conceived in a whimsical style, this deceptively simple painting beckons the viewer to a moment of rest and contemplation, to take a breath and relax. The glory of God's creation, man's toil, our need for worship and what lies beyond are all in view for those who take the time to see.
