A local Catholic church, rather than spending hundreds or possibly thousands of dollars on art depicting the twelve Stations of the Cross (Catholics will know what this is) asked local artists to paint the 12 stations no larger than 8"x10". The stations are usually small pieces placed around the church in a circle starting and ending at the altar. Well, I received an email from a former member of the Auxiliary who is a member of this church asking me to paint the 9th station of the cross- Jesus falls for the third time (while carrying the cross).
I truly admire the work of one artist, Brian Jekel. He paints a lot of religious/spiritual art. I used one of his pieces as the basis of mine but personalized it. Since I normally detail things to death, I tried to avoid that with this piece. I don't know if this looks too much like his work to be "legal" but it is for a church, not for profit.
During the day, I often run into things that I think I should include in my blog, but then I sit down at the keyboard and I forget everything that I wanted to mention. I can think of one thing:
I am so glad to see Fredo back! Yeah!
