Painting in Greenville, SC

Julyan Davis and I spent last Thursday and Friday in Greenville, SC. We each completed a painting sketch while we were there ; he did a 12 x 20 oil and I did three 9 x 12 oils depicting one particular location. I chose the scene because it had religious connotations believe it or not. Behind the building there were three telephone poles
( the three crosses at Christ's crucifixion ) and directly underneath, attached to the building were two steel rods in the shape of a V. It was symbolic to me, and you're talking to someone who goes to Church at Christmas & Easter, of Jesus's victory over death. Pretty unbelievable. We had just gone to this little place for lunch and I turned around and I saw it. Look for the sketches to be posted soon, and the finalized painting as well.
