This is my favorite image from my travels.  It is so pretty and sweet and calming.  The church was in a small township of about 700 people.  And a sign out front said they had been worshiping together since 1860!  There was a graveyard behind the church and I imagine many generations of farm folk rest there.

How Church was created.....   First, I used a very fine black pen to sketch this image.  I had pulled over to the side of a small country road and was surprised to find regular semi-truck traffic on this road.  They would ROAR by me and my little rental car would sway and rock.  I was actually a wee bit frightened!  But I took my time to complete a detailed sketch of this scene including shading and a nice sense of light.  Later, I used colored inks to fill out the whole scene and then I layered oil pastel over the top to give it that soft, solid feeling.

Church was drawn on acid-free white mat board.  You will want to frame this lovely drawing to protect your investment.  One affordable means of framing is to purchase a standard-sized frame at your local home store and then bring the frame and the artwork together to a custom-framer.  Ask the framer to mat the art to fit the frame.
