"Late for Evensong"
Oil on Board, (c) Lesley Powell
(Private Collection)
This is a painting I did some years ago, and I have been thinking of it as Christmas has been drawing near. The choir boys in the painting remind me of my grandmother's Christmas candles that were made like red and white robed carolers. Their open mouths were shaped like little "O"s, and their faces looked so angelic. Add to that memory the melodies of the Christmas carols that we proclaim this season, and I guess it's no wonder that this painting reminds me of Christmas.
