Happy Valentine’s Day!
This Lent I want to do another series. (Over the past two Lents I contemplated the Stations of the Cross.) This time I’ll be encaustic painting five saints who are relevant to me.
Because I have no drawing skill, I’ll be using photos of my mother and my uncle. Mom died 11 years ago and Uncle Ace died as a young man when I was a small child. Both, we pray, are now saints in heaven.
Throughout Lent I’ll also be working on my Easter painting. This heart and ashes encaustic is the beginning. I like the notion of a rudimentary piece of artwork, appropriate for this moment, that develops into something else.
May all of us have a fruitful Lent.
