We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth. Other means may succeed; this could not fail. The way is plalin, peaceful, generous, just - a way which, if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God must forever bless." Rod Chase has created an elegant, truly amazing, painting of our Capitol. He was attracted to this snowy scene because of the unusual lighting of the structure and the pure serenity of the pathway leading to it. Unsure of the type of shadow cast by a park bench, Debbie, Rod's wife, purchased a bench from an antique store, and they set up lighting that approximated the light source in the painting. The artist is a down-to-earth gentleman with a quick wit and lots of common sense. He is also the ultimate perfectionist. |
