Kate’s story about this painting:

“I kept loose paper in my hymn book for sketching. St. Paul's church at Easter time was full of very smart women and they kept their children 'in check' and beautifully dressed. This little girl was mesmerized by the yellow butterflies and every now and again outstretched her arm to try and catch one. I remember my mother had died the month before and the numbers on the Hymn Board were my mother's favorite hymns...'All Things Bright and Beautiful', 'There is a Green Hill far far away, without a city wall'.

It was a difficult composition and needed to be distorted quite a lot. I should have done many more church paintings. I got half way through one of two girls singing and tapping tambourines at the same time. It was a wonderful sight...”
