These photos are from two different Episcopal churches in Ashe County, NC. The contain striking frescoes done by the artist, Ben Long, a North Carolina native. People come from all over the world to view them. It is quite unique that both churches are open 24 hours a day and there is no charge. You push a button to hear a lengthy, very well done, talk about the art work and the meaning behind them. The churches are about 10 miles apart. Highly recommend the time and effort to see them if you are in the West Jefferson area of North Carolina. Holy Trinity is in Glendale Springs and St. Mary’s is in West Jefferson. I thought the last supper was really well done, visually distinct, and the effort in the expressions and details of the work are fascinating.
