Refuge by Caroline Street

Refuge

This beautiful German designed church is based on a Chruch in Namibia. It is practically built on the rock with the sea in the distance. Due to the message that 'the Church' sends out to the world I have tried to use a lot of light in the painting, enough to light up the sky and its surrounding area - and to light up as in the spiritual sense of the word. The little cross on top of the Church is of course the most meaningfull symbol of all. I give thanks!

Oil on canvas. Block Frame. Painted at the sides. Can be hung as is or framed.

Size H1015 X W760mm.

Price on Request.

And you´ve got the light in a wonderful way Caroline. I´m just back from Amsterdam where I went to the Van Gogh Museum. Your work reminds me of the light I´ve seen in some of his works too.

this is a beautiful painting of a church.I love the way the building catches the sunlight..almost like God's aura is surrounding it.The fact that the church is built on the rocks means it looks out to sea and has height too.You have painted this church with a lot of love and faith and it comes thru loud and clear.Love the sky and the surrounding area too.Just so lovely.k8

Hi Caroline, lovely image, and a powerful message, beautifully painted. I like the impressionist style 'of many of your pictures' because it's very much your own, and this painting is a very good example. Regards Gerry.

I like what you are trying to symbolise in this work and your deliberate use of lighter colors to indicate Refuge.

Artist Statement
for Caroline Street
Caroline StreetI am an artist from South Africa. I live very close to the Kruger National Park so I am influenced mainly by wildlife, my environment and the African people. I also love color, design and world history. I have been painting forever it seems and have sold my work locally and internationally. My main medium is oils which I call the living paint, every now and then I do some acrylic work as well. I really enjoy being on PIL, lots of great artists - everyone has something to different to offer. I very often just sit at the computer and look at the art and by so doing gain inspiration.
Art is joy! To those who look at and comment on my work, I say thank you for your time and I am grateful for your comments, suggestions, critique etc.
