Description

Wayne — Southwestern Church Scene, Original Oil on Masonite

Expressive and atmospheric, this original oil on masonite panel by Wayne depicts a pueblo-style church surrounded by white-robed figures in a spiritual gathering. Richly layered hues of deep blue, violet, and rose create a sense of reverence and mystery, while the abstracted brushwork evokes both movement and emotion. The composition is centered around a mission-style church topped with a cross, suggesting themes of faith and community within a Southwestern setting.

Signed “WAYNE” at lower right, the painting blends abstraction with narrative realism—a hallmark of mid-20th-century Southwestern art. Housed in a textured wood frame with linen matting (without glass), this striking work radiates regional warmth and visual depth, making it a captivating focal piece for collectors of Western or modern American art.

Condition:

Good overall condition. The painting surface is stable with strong color and no major losses. Frame and matting show visible staining at the center and mild wear consistent with age. No glass present.

Dimensions:

Overall: 24.5" x 32" x 2.25"
Visible (sight): 14.75" x 22.25"
