St. John's Episcopal Church is one of those places in Richmond that everyone in America has heard about but maybe has no clue where it is. "Give me liberty, or give me death!" is what Patrick Henry shouted in March of 1775 at St. John's Episcopal Church. That's what it's famous for, and it's massive ass graveyard, containing some 3,000 souls. Anyway, when I used to live just down the road from St. John's, I'd often catch a sunset and the sky would have this 'Maxfield Parrish' feel to it. This, is one of those sunsets.
The painting is 16x20, oil, framed and on display at Crossroads Art Center in Richmond, VA.
