Description

Country church on a snow-covered moonlit night, surrounded by tall lodgepole pines, watercolor on paper by Conni Schaftenaar.

This is a re-visiting of a painting I did a little over 2 years ago. The original image literally came to me vividly in a dream. I woke up, wondering why I would dream of such an image, went back to sleep and dreamed of it again. So, the next day, I did a rough sketch of what I had seen in my dream.

Our watercolor class was working on snow scenes in moonlight, so I decided to revisit my little white country church as a subject. I think it is a major improvement over the previous effort of two years ago! This time I used a reference photo from a local church I had taken a few years ago - beautiful little New England-style church with a tall white spire!
