Corn Hill, Texas, a painting by Talmage Minter

Talmage describes the painting thus: Corn Hill is about 20-30 miles from our capital city of Austin. The church seems to be a little-used relic from another era. It's built in the style of a miniature cathedral. Despite its bucolic setting, it strikes me as a rather dark place. The horse represents, perhaps, the disinterest of God who has turned away from a dead expression of Christianity. To my way of thinking, the white color of the horse symbolizes God's purity, but also (maybe) hope for a new beginning.
I am probably the only artist in operation who paints nothing but old Texas churches. It is the mystery and the symbolism that I find endlessly fascinating.
