The Veil of Christ - Jesus have mercy

The Veil of Christ icon - painted by me! AIA! May you have blessed Good Friday! Enjoy!

Here is another icon that I painted, the Veil of Christ... his face actually have two sides to it - one of compassion the other of sorrow. If you cover half of it vertically you will see two different 'looks'. Perfect image for Good Friday!
Enjoy!

Pray for us Blessed Mother...

AIA - my  icon painting attached to wood to hang! Enjoy!

Mary, Mother of Sorrows - especially this week as she watches her Son be battered and broken for the sake of our sins. Mary pray for us, Jesus have mercy on us!
Enjoy!

The Joy of the Triduum is upon us...

Living the Joy of Christ - AIA - ornament or wall hanging! Enjoy!

I had artistic fun with this piece, again my own art work extended into an ornament design. I really played with the color on the wood piece that extended from my original electronic drawing. I liked the heart wired work - new little attempt for something different. Again, I resin the original drawing allowing the wood painting to be matte finish. Enjoy!

Green Sunshine!

Green bear for St. Patrick's day!!  Another ornament of AIA! Enjoy!

This little bear always makes me smile. I was given an actual stuff bear after my cancer surgery... I named him Ray Gene after my doctor and favorite nurse who took care of me post op. I thought it was appropriate to have been grace us on St. Patrick's day! He always brings me good memories! Enjoy!

Angels watch over me!

Hand painted angel to watch over you! An ornament or wall hanging - Art in Art... Enjoy!!

I just love this angel image. It was commissioned by someone to be a gift - which was made into a pin. However her joyful presence has beckoned to be used in other pieces as well. One of my favorite bracelets has her pieced into it using a new technique - the owner loves it! I have other requests for her to be used as a purse ornament, necklace and ornaments as here. I enjoyed continuing to paint on the wood her image but only resin the actually printed image of the drawing. I like the dimension of the matte finish verse the high gloss. Enjoy!

Everyone loves the Kiss

The famous Hershey kiss - this painting is popular by request. AiA! Enjoy!

This painting of the Hershey Kiss was a wonderful challenge and I was pleased with the outcome. The funny story about this piece is that I had the 'kiss' on a black glass table and my family knew NOT to TOUCH the Kiss - since I was working on the drawing (eletronic painting). One day my little nephew stopped by for a visit - he has down syndrome - and promptly when over to the kiss... picked it up and proceeded to eat it! WE all sighed "NO don't touc.... touch it" Too late. I guess I was done with the drawing! Enjoy!

A Warrior for Christ

St. Joan of Arc, pray for us! An icon - I painted!! Art in Art - AiA Enjoy!

Here is my latest icon of St. Joan of Arc - my daughter's confirmation Saint. You can really see the swirls in the back ground nor the silver pigment or gold pigment in the piece as displayed in the original. On a few of the prints I went back in and painted with some metallic paints. The wood that it is mounted on is painted with a silver metallic mimicking her armor. The red organza ribbon draws the eye onto the richly red cape adorn over Joan's shoulder! A true Warrior for Christ. Enjoy!!

Year of Mercy...

Pope Francis painting encouraging the year of Mercy - another piece of Art in Art - AiA!! Enjoy!

Working on portraits with electronic painting - again placing the printed painting on wood and working the piece around it. I liked the white soft satin ribbon representing an extension of his beanie. It also reminds me of a dove descending down around him. We were blessed to walk through the Jubliee doors last month in Az at the Rock Chapel. Great graces!! Enjoy!

Family Celebration remembered

Enjoy this family ornament remembering a Grandmother who has gone before us. This is a wonderful way to continued celebrated memories of family members who are not here with us physically but spiritually! This piece was made with polymer clay and copper wire work. There were two ornaments made hence the reason for different wire work. May you rest in peace!
