This is just finished. I'm entering a show at a local Franciscan retreat and the theme is "Beauty from Ashes". This painting 3' x4'. Not only does the theme fit the beauty that comes from God's plan of salvation into the ashes of our lives, but the materials are redeemed too! This is framed with an old frame that I once used for papermaking years ago. The board is covered with old canvas, much of the paint is leftover from a project at church. Talk about redemption! Saving the lost as well! I started with inks and I am attempting to adapt my new mixed media style to working on canvas. I think my nephew Karl would agree that this is numinous. And perfervid also! That's your vocabulary builder for the day!

Lovely lovely work!!!
Perfervid? Not a clue? Anyway, so when will this be arriving at my door? I have the perfect place for it..... Seriously this is beautiful and so meaningful. And not just from looking at it - I am so glad you shared where the materials came from, etc. too. This is really awesome!
