My Last Post

6 years ago, I started this blog. I’ve written 120 posts and drawn countless pieces. Some of you have journeyed along the whole time…

This is my first post, January 10, 2020.

And this is the drawing that started it all. My debut on the art blogging world. Remember this still life?

And this… can this be it? This is a portion of Our Lady of La Leche watercolor painting I recently finished. It currently resides on the living room wall. I can’t tell you much about it here…but you can read about it and see the finished painting on my new website! Click the button below and go read. You can also sign up for my newsletter and view my art gallery!

Spoiler alert: I will still be posting my art. Just not here.

🗝Saint Peter

What a fitting prompt for today’s picture. Or would it be a fitting picture for today’s prompt? Anyway I was eying this picture in my collection of holy cards I have saved up and knew this would do for the award prompt. Saint Peter holding the keys to the final AWARD, heaven!

🕊 Easter

I know it is not Easter, Christmas is a lot closer, but Easter is not that far off. It just fit the prompt well. And it was also the first thing that came to mind.

🕊 Ossuaries

I read about ossuaries in a book titles, "The Weird Catholic Handbook" before that I had never heard of em. They are basically little shrines decorated with bones of the dead. (I know, it sounds pretty creepy or weird) It is also a way to practice the devotion of Memento Mori - Remember your death. It makes more room in the cemeteries if they are out of space. I am sure there are other reasons as well. They are pretty common in Europe. This picture I drew was a photo based on a crypt in Rome.
