Christmas Chapel I
Art Notes
I love the Christmas Eve services and the traditions that go along with them. In our church, it means lighting candles and passing them symbolically from one person to another. As I envisioned this tradition on canvas, I began to imagine that in an ideal world the Christmas Eve service would happen in a country chapel along a snowy wooded lane.
I envision this painting as the first in a series of three Christmas Chapels, each taking their inspiration from a classic Christmas carol. My prayer is that this series will give each of us a chance to rekindle the simple joys of the Christmas season.

I remember this brilliant artist from years back. I searched the internet to see his works. I am saddened he is not here and pleased he left the world these magnificent artwork. He is in a class of his own. I can’t afford really expensive stuff but its on my list to have one or two of his paintings hanging in my house. Please keep this site alive. Keep his work online. I intend to explain his works to my children and their children. This is a blessing what he was able to capture on a canvas. Its worth noting in history and will never be forgotten.
