Description
Behind the old church in Manigotagan, Manitoba is a hay rake that speaks of days gone by. The church was built around 1936 and during it's last exterior community painting, cold weather and winter had set in before it could be completed. This is why there's three tones of color. (Then everyone forgot the task as it's behind the church anyways). This old church is still used every Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
Many thanks to Artwork from the Past, Your favorite Artwork and the Paintings groups for their recognition.

This is such a lovely painting! The colours and simplicity evoke for me the sharp air of approaching winter and bleak, huge open spaces hinted at behind the roof of the church and the open road beyond....fv
