About the Artwork

Should Be a Lot of People at Church is a 9" x 12" oil painting by Peter Shostak created on canvas. Shostak's paintings often reflect the communal traditions of prairie life, where churches were central gathering places for families and neighbours.

Set on a bright winter morning, the painting shows a country church surrounded by horse-drawn wagons lined along the snowy road. Groups of people stand outside, their presence suggesting a service or event that has drawn the community together. The clear blue sky and snow-covered ground highlight the simplicity and dignity of the moment. The title adds a note of observation, reminding viewers of the importance of Sunday gatherings as both spiritual and social events in small-town life. Shostak captures not only a scene but a rhythm of community that continues to resonate.
