All Saints' Church by Cora Bliss Taylor
Painting
Cora Bliss Taylor, "All Saints' Church", no date - water color and gouache, matted and framed. Taylor depicts the All Saints' Saugatuck entrance tower. Here, she captures the charm of one of Michigan's finest Carpenter Gothic churches. The technique used here transforms the iconic Saugatuck church into an arrangement of abstract patterns and shapes. The angularity and color thrust the eye upward toward "heaven."

All Saints Episcopal Church
from Cora Bliss Taylor "Cody's World" exhibit, Aug 2019 at the OSH All Saints’ Church c.1960s | Pastel crayon Creator: Cora Bliss Taylor This example, which at first glance looks like a woodcut print, is actually a pastel crayon drawing using the texture of the medium for expressive effect. The pastel makes for a painterly abstract composition. The absence of clear lines heightens the abstraction and the illusion of depth is merely implied. When viewed from a distance the drawing appears less abstract and the subject, All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Saugatuck, is more recognizable.
