DescriptionIn this interesting oil painting, Kosa captures a quiet Sunday morning with people arriving at a little church in the California countryside. In wagons and on foot, they gather from all around, many coming on foot down the hill from the houses we can see in the background.As clouds darken above, the church seems to glow in a golden light, with the trees seeming to hug their branches around it. A pathway lined with broken, haphazardly repaired fence rails leads your eye into the image; perhaps another symbolic reference. The bright greens and golds stand out sharply against the lowering sky.
