Lester G. Chapin (American- 1885-1974) Origiinal Watercolor, Wading River Congregational Church, 1966

This framed watercolor painting by Lester Chapin, dated 1966, depicts the Wading River Congregational Church, a historic New England structure surrounded by lush greenery. The white clapboard church features classic architectural elements, including a tall steeple adorned with a decorative weather vane, green-shuttered windows, and a welcoming front entrance. The sunlight filtering through the trees casts soft shadows, adding depth and dimension to the scene.

A small sign near the entrance signifies the church's active role in the community, enhancing the painting’s nostalgic and historical significance. Chapin’s brushwork captures the texture of the trees, the crispness of the building, and the warm light that accentuates the details of the landscape.

The artwork is enclosed in a burled wood frame with double matting; a cream-colored inner mat brightens the composition, while the green outer mat complements the natural hues of the setting. This piece is a serene and beautifully rendered tribute to the heritage and timeless charm of the Wading River Congregational Church.
