A small white chapel sits low on the horizon, its steeple and cross the only vertical lines for miles except one bare tree standing off on its own. Beatriz Solano gives most of the canvas to a tall, pale sky, so the church and the tree feel even smaller and more still.
This chapel painting is built from soft gray, sand and off-white. The prairie grass is laid down in quick, scraped strokes of tan and cream, while the sky is brushed thin and smooth. It reads like a vintage church painting found in an old farmhouse, but the restraint is entirely modern.
It's for anyone who grew up near a country church, or who simply wants a peaceful, unhurried image to come home to. The quiet palette and simple subject make it easy to live with day after day.
As canvas wall art, the tall format suits a narrow wall in a hallway, beside a bed, or above a reading chair. It pairs well with linen, natural wood and other farmhouse or neutral rooms.
