One of my mother's favorite songs was "The Little Brown Church in the Vale". When she sang it, it always conjured up mental images of a quaint little chapel snuggled amidst trees, like the one above. It's much like the church of MY childhood, except my little roadside church was white. These little country churches were the heart of the community. Sadly, they are becoming things of the past. It is pleasant to remember the ticking of the old wall clock as the minister brought his message of hope and love.....a balm to the spirit.
Oh you ladies are breaking my heart with all these dear old songs...and your picture is just perfect I feel like I am there beautiful Bev...thank you.
ReplyDeleteLovely memory and song against a great backdrop. Bravo
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! I didn't know the song, so I googled it and found a video on You Tube. Your picturefits it perfectly!
ReplyDeleteOH, I had forgotten that lovely song and your picture is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI must admit I do not know your song, Bev, but you have illustrated the words to perfection! Would make a lovely vintage Christmas card!
ReplyDeleteGreat job.
ReplyDeleteI don't know the song either, but the words couldn't be more perfect for your piece, Bev! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Bev, and I love the choice for this bouncy and beautiful song. I love it!
ReplyDeleteYour memories almost bring tears..A lovely interpretation Bev.xx
ReplyDeleteI don't think I know the song but would love to hear it. Chris mentioned above that she found it on YouTube so that would be worth looking into. Your little brown church and couple are exquisite, Bev. So beautiful. I always love seeing your memories in print. As I often say - you really take us there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely old-fashioned song and your art is perfect for it!
ReplyDeleteI don't know the song lyrics, Bev, but you have introduced them and then illustrate them exquisitely my friend. A standing ovation from this corner.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautifully nostalgic piece, Bev!
ReplyDeleteOh how very sweet
ReplyDeleteHow romantic walking in the snow with your love! Perfect piece Bev! Love, Jamie
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful and full of spirit. You know, this reminds me of Finland. Maybe it's the snow, I donät know. But I am really touched, thank you for the experience!
