Subject: Autumn Church Landscape
Date: Circa 1960s–1970s
Medium: Oil on canvas
Description
This warm and atmospheric oil painting by Lou Kelley depicts a quiet rural church nestled among towering autumn trees, rendered in rich seasonal tones of amber, rust, and gold. The composition draws the eye along a gentle path toward the white clapboard church, creating a sense of calm, reflection, and timeless Americana.
Kelley’s expressive brushwork and layered foliage capture the depth and movement of fall light, while the simple architecture anchors the scene with narrative and emotional resonance. The painting has strong decorative impact and works beautifully in traditional, farmhouse, cottage, and country-inspired interiors.
Signed lower left, the work is in a complementary rustic wood frame and is ready to hang.

Artists working under the Kelley name were often associated with regional galleries and art fairs, producing accessible yet expressive works intended for home and institutional settings.
Kelley’s paintings are collected today for their nostalgic subject matter, strong sense of place, and warm, decorative quality, particularly scenes depicting churches, fall landscapes, and rural life.
