One of the most exquisite structures on the beautiful Emory and Henry College campus is Memorial Chapel. The building is striking for the design and height of its steeple. Even more striking is its sanctuary (something I had always meant to paint but never got to it), which is the soul of simplicity and elegance. From 2003 to 2006, I was privileged to be on the faculty of Emory and Henry, a small Methodist College in the mountains of southwest Virginia, about 25 northeast of Bristol. The campus has been on that spot since its founding in 1836. It is one of uncommon beauty, as is the surrounding area. The place inspired many paintings, one of which was put on this site in August. Another three are located just below this entry, and here is a fourth.

For almost the entire existence of Emory and Henry College,, there has been a Wiley Hall. During the Civil War, the college was closed, but Wiley Hall served as a hospital for Confederate and Union soldiers. That building burned early in the 20th century and was replaced by the one shown in the painting below. From 2003 to 2006, I was privileged to be on the faculty of Emory and Henry, a small Methodist College in the mountains of southwest Virginia, about 25 northeast of Bristol. The campus has been on that spot since its founding in 1836. It is one of uncommon beauty, as is the surrounding area. The place inspired many paintings, one of which was put on this site in August. Another two are located just below this entry, and here is a fourth.

Byars Hall, on the campus of Emory and Henry College, serves as the home for the theater, art and music departments. From 2003 to 2006, I was privileged to be on the faculty of Emory and Henry College, a small Methodist College in the mountains of southwest Virginia, about 25 northeast of Bristol. The campus has been in existence on that spot since its founding in 1836. It is one of uncommon beauty, as is the surrounding area. The place inspired many paintings, one of which was put on this site in August. Another is located just below this entry, and here is a third.
