Description
I volunteer with a group of former military men and women who provide military honors at Veteran's funerals. As we do this work, we find ourselves in all kinds of cemeteries, large and small, old and new, private and public. On this particular day, we traveled out in the country for a funeral service at a county church. While we were waiting for the procession to arrive I noticed this old building across the road. It was one of those "wow, look at that!" moments for me. I thought the building was very interesting with the brick, the rusty roof, the overgrown plants in from and the small white addition on the side. And, the lighting was beautiful. As I stood looking at it, one of my fellow volunteers said, "You're thinking about a painting, aren't you?". I said, "Yes, I am!" Well, here it is. I found out that this building served as a small school (the white addition was a kitchen). Prior to that, it was a church, actually the predecessor to the church that was conducting the funeral. I think it makes a nice painting-the lighting is the star of the show!~J
