Your blog is stunning...I'm so proud to be Catholic right now. There's so much gobbly gook out and about and to see such lush wonder posted here blesses me richly. Thankyou for posting your heart here. I'm a Catholic mom homeschooling in Canada. We're in the middle of a snow storm. I live in Ontario.

Once again you have put together a wonderful Fine Art Friday. I must say that I am not familiar with this artist, and was happy to see his work for the first time.
While I love the painting of the Annuciation; The Beloved really stands out for me with its vibrant colors.
Beautiful post...
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing! I especially like "The Annunciation"
