Prayer
"Prayer"
Altoid tin container by Janie Mills for display or to cradle a dearly loved rosary.
I love this depiction of a Madonna, a Mother, a Woman
in quiet communication with her maker. Simple text with the word
"Prayer" is added. A tiny pink candle lights the way. It was perfectly
sized in it's partial use when taken out of an old box of birthday
candles. I wonder what stories it could tell?
See this link on how it was made:

May you be surprised at finding beauty in the midst of ruin. |
Day 7 of "A Virgin a Day" hosted by artist, Rebecca Brooks at:
recuerda mi corazon
recuerda mi corazon
I created this nicho using a vintage Italian Holy card
of a Madonna in adoration of a rose that appears to have sprung up in
the midst of nothing. I couldn't keep from thinking about how many times
I have been surprised at finding beauty in the midst of what might have
been viewed as ruins or despair.

Just breathe
"All the masterpieces of art contain both light and shadow. A happy life is not one filled only with sunshine, but one which uses both light and shadow to produce beauty." -- Rev. Billy Graham

New painting - "Siren Awaits"
"Siren Awaits"
Just finished a new painting. This is an unstretched, raw-edge, oil painted, canvas with tab attachment to hang on dowel. It's a biggie at 40" x 50".
How many of you recall your Greek Mythology? First one to reply with the correct answer to the meaning of Siren will receive a "trifle" of a gift from me.
