November 2004 Release
"The impulse to worship is not confined within the
vaulted ceiling and colored windows of a church. There are places where the
bounty of God’s creation shines forth with such radiance that the humble
heart is moved to express its gratitude in prayer.And in some of those
natural shrines, mankind has seen ?t to build to provide the worshiper with
a modest chapel where we can satisfy our need to pray.
Dogwood Chapel portrays just such a spiritual jewel within a setting of
breathtaking natural beauty. A graceful footpath leads us to the door of a
modest chapel, lodged within the shade of an overarching, flowering dogwood
tree. Even if we are unfamiliar with the legends that link the dogwood to
the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord, we cannot help but recognize
that this tree with its lavish white blossoms is a sign of God’s sheltering
grace,
and His abiding gift of love.
Dogwood Chapel is my expression of gratitude for the abundant beauty of
God’s creation. Just as some nameless congregation was moved to erect their
chapel here, I was moved to paint the scene so that I could return to it in
prayer and gratitude. I hope that you will return to Dogwood Chapel in those
times when you need to sooth your weary spirit."
-Thomas Kinkade
