Artist notes: While I was waiting for this painting to dry in my home studio, I realised it reminded me of the building in which church function teas and Sunday school classes were held when I was growing up. I don't know whether subconsciously this reminds me of a painting that may have hung there – I can't picture anything in particular or whether there is another association but whatever it may be, it's a very strong association. Thought I'd acknowledge that in the title.
