The Old Church at Bulcher, Texas

6″ x 8″ original oil on canvas panel

Larry G. Lemons - Copyright 2007

This original painting is from a photograph that I took a few years ago of the old church that use to stand at Bulcher, north of Saint Jo. The first time I remember seeing it was about 35 years ago when my friend Spuds Carver and I were out exploring the area on our new Hondas (no, not Harleys) and it was in pretty bad shape back then. Olivia and I were out driving a few months ago and we couldn’t find it. It has apparently been demolished or simply fell in where we couldn’t see it from the road. Even in its state of rustic decay, I still thought that there was a sense of beauty in its design and probably many stories to be told of how the gospel was once proclaimed from its old wooden pulpit.
