28. Seaville Church

Donald Hazen Brown Archive By Don Brown

2007 - On a summer morning, I drove down Rt. 9 in southern, N. J. intent on doing a painting of this church as seen from the front. To find a place to park my car, I pulled into the parking lot in back of the church and was immediately taken by the view from the rear. Abandoning my previous intention, I took out my paints, set up my chair, and began a painting of the church from the rear. What caught my attention were the several shapes, one connected to another, that made for an interesting composition. The cemetery with its grave stones, added an interesting dimension as well. As I reflected upon the scene before me, it became symbolic to me to how the church today struggles to avoid dying like the dead beneath the tomb stones in the an ient cemetery. The postmodern world calls for new story and a new spirituality. Can the white; clap board, traditional, quaint church transition into the new world or will we be left looking at the rear of the church-at what it used to be?
