Description There are many churches in small towns of every denomination. This church immediately caught my eye - I think it was the red door surrounded by the white background. It is called Saint Mary's Episcopal Church. The painting was done in early summer with the morning sun casting beautiful shadows across the front adding depth to every angle. There were many crosses packed into the design of this building. I spent a lot of time in front of this church and was afraid people would either call the police or ask me to join their congregation - neither happened. The original painting is oil on canvas 16 x 20 inches.
Scott Shiffer Member Since August 2007 Artist Statement Born in the United States. Living and traveling throughout the United States and to foreign places has given a special opportunity to appreciate a variety of cultural arts. Spending years in Asia, the Pacific islands, and later Europe has given me a greater appreciation of the ebb and flow of life around our world. The echoes of cultural experiences have a strong influence of my work. For decades, studying in the studios of life, my art is but an expression of life.
