The chapel wasn’t open when we were there so I had to just take a couple of photos of the interior through some very dirty windows at the back of the building. This mural shows Aline Badger Carter in her white flowing dress. The murals were painted long after she passed away in 1972. They are from the Bible’s New Testament and Old Testament and pretty extraordinary. I thought it was lovely that the artist painted Mrs. Carter in one of the scenes. The stained glass glowed from the inside, this one is obviously of the island, with the dunes, Gulf, sun and clouds.
I love the murals and the pastel tones. Not so sure that I like the style or colour of the window there, as it distracts my eye. Lovely on it's own though ;-)
@ludwigsdiana I so agree with you. The stained glass window on the other side of the chapel is a lovely biblical window. I will put it on tomorrow. I am anxious to return to the island when the chapel is open so I can take proper photos.
Great job in shooting through dirty glass- the stained glass is glowing nicely. I thought it was a reference to Moses though- walking through the Red Sea and eating manna! I guess it makes more sense to be a reference to the area where the Chapel is built. Pretty shot!
