This is the last day of August 2018...<br />
A long month of sad happenings in my family.<br />
A month of illness for me.<br />
A month of renewed hope...<br />
<br />
The photo on the right is an image I have been pondering<br />
sketching this month. It intrigues me and yet I can't<br />
figure out why. So I continue to look and learn....<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
I was a practicing Catholic less than two years. I thought I had received a valid critique of my style. However, the Deacon who told me to stop creating my art, brought confusion and I questioned my vision. This person had never talked to me. He only saw a single piece of my art work; submitted to him with my petition to be a member of his on line society. This discouragement caused me to think that perhaps I had made a mistake in becoming confirmed into the Catholic Church. I became depressed and fought back discouragement, remembering other Catholics who had made my choice of church affiliation so difficult. I wondered was this ever going to end?<br />
<br />
That was then. It is now forgiven and I leave it...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This is 2017. A lot has changed and I have had many experiences to keep me focused on seeking to know what to see and how to share that vision.<br />
<br />
St. Augustine writes in his Sermon on 1John 4:4-12 ~<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #162e3d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif; font-size: 16px;">Hear the Gospel: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” [Matt. 5:8] But do not imagine God according to the lust of your eyes. If you do, you will create for yourself a huge form or an incalculable magnitude which (like the light which you see with your bodily eyes) extends in every direction. Your imagination lets it fill realm after realm of space, all the vastness you can conceive of. Or maybe you picture for yourself a venerable-looking old man. Do not imagine any of these things. If you would see God, here is what you should imagine: God is love. What sort of face does love have? What shape is it? What size? What hands and feet does it have? No one can say. And yet it does have feet, those feet that carry people to church. It does have hands, those hands that reach out to the poor. It has eyes, those through which we consider the needy: “blessed is the person,” it is said, “who considers the needy and the poor.” [Ps. 41:1] It has ears, of which the Lord says, “He that has ears to hear let him hear.” [Luke 8:8]</span><br />
<br />
<br />
I am called to create. This art is part of that call. It is a gift I use to bless others to consider the needy. It is to praise God and God alone.<br />
<br />
I will continue to call this blog Sacred Images because the title says what I consider a correct reference.<br />
<br />
Let others call my art what they will... It is <b>ART. </b>It is from me. It is the best art I can do.<br />

However, I have been traveling to see an elderly parent who broke a hip on Good Friday and then needed extra care for a number of issues that developed after the fall. This has taken up any time I might have spent in my studio. But sharing Christ's charity has been well worth my effort and time.

The above piece "Loli Girl-Where Is Your Heart?" (With Help From Albrecht Durer) generated a lot of interest. This year I am reaching out with art to a subculture of gamers, costumers and lovers of fantasy, Goth, and Twilight. I was in a local fantasy convention's art show. Very nice time showing with some good artists and also getting much feedback on my works. A very good reception for me and I am pleased and encouraged.<br />

This month I am showing with a group of local artists in our quarterly art show. I have a piece in the show titled, "Vocation". "Vocation" is one of several assemblage pieces I am doing. It is similar to the above piece titled, "Sunday Morning At Mass".</div>

I hope you will enjoy these pieces and be encouraged.</div>

And I have been spending a lot of time in my studio. This has kept me from writing or sharing images on this blog. But no longer. I will be adding this blog to a new web site I am in the process of creating. <br /><br />Hopefully I will also have a blog on that site which I will more carefully tend.<br /><br />The image is titled "Jesus I Trust You" one of five I did on this theme.<br />~NanSacred Imageshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18179305462641518440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31728237.post-19861113207459580912009-03-02T10:55:00.000-08:002009-03-02T13:39:21.778-08:00It has been a long time...<div align="left">In this season of Lent, let us ponder our great salvation.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQrQHls7aBVMdabmlsnfF9Ujc5_Ftb4TGaOC8W4q-uNay39tiSywqKoMA-YkfeIVTKQ7md1TJ_ffTRR2F8tp70QDStuojJEGRAnCVjea6Ms-Aj9XoyJuh5O1tIbvUDeOVtGsSycQ/s1600-h/morningstar1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308666264766088098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQrQHls7aBVMdabmlsnfF9Ujc5_Ftb4TGaOC8W4q-uNay39tiSywqKoMA-YkfeIVTKQ7md1TJ_ffTRR2F8tp70QDStuojJEGRAnCVjea6Ms-Aj9XoyJuh5O1tIbvUDeOVtGsSycQ/s320/morningstar1.jpg" border="0" /></a> Jesus the Bright and Morning Star </div>Sacred Imageshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18179305462641518440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31728237.post-48114571117833149852008-11-26T08:36:00.000-08:002008-11-26T08:40:51.378-08:00Time OutSometimes we need a time out.
