Deb Trate
Community Baptist Church, 1853 State Route 87, Montoursville, PA
Deb Trate’s watercolor painting of the Community Baptist Church, located at 1853 Route 87, is the winner of this year’s Sun-Gazette church painting contest.
Trate’s painting features a snowy front of the church an apt premonition, given last week’s wintry weather as well as several churchgoers entering the building.
To paint the picture she had in mind, Trate did not just settle for using her imagination. She camped out in front of the church and took pictures of the entrance to reference when creating the painting, then later painted snow in. But a picture of just the church’s building would not have been complete in her eyes.
