The lost chapel at Del This Isolated tiny chapel is set apart from the tiny village of Del by the gap of an empty field. In late winter not even the slightest path joins the chapel and the town. The chapel lacks a grave yard, or the graves have long since disappeared, no one caring to keep them marked. I wanted to render the chapel capturing the feeling of isolation it gave me, so I painted it very white and everything around dark and rather brown closing in the depth. My kids give the only real color strutting to the chapel in their red winter suits. We had a snack on the bench in front of the white washed walls, and none of us felt very at ease. I am curious to know what the history of this town and small chapel is. For now I will settle for this very successful rendition of the lost chapel.
