So, brief thoughts about these steeples and, thus, churches. You’ll notice I’ve not named or identified specific churches I use as source for these pieces. This owes to several reasons, mainly two:
First, I’m not wanting to endorse any specific denomination. My interest in painting these is out of appreciation of the beauty of churches in general, and steeples specifically. I can equally enjoy and be faith-inspired by a grand cathedral as-well-as a prosaic country church … and most in-between.
Secondly, I think that by identifying a locale/city, it focuses, again, on a non-issue. 🙂 It’s the beauty/creativity – the spirituality these architectural looking-upwards promote/exhibit that intrigue and inspire me.
Hopefully, without locale and denominational tie-downs, more can enjoy and be inspired by these images.
