Winter Cardinal
Right now, I have no idea how to name this painting…

Our Lady of Guadalupe
14 x 11″ oil paint on artist board, special commission
In 1531, Our Lady appeared to Aztec Juan Diego, leaving her image on his cloak (tilma). To this day the image is venerated and celebrated, especially in Mexico. Throughout the Catholic Church, December 12 is the Feastday of Mary under this title, as we honor her as the Patroness of the Americas. This is a colorful simplification of the famous image for a customer.
Jesus the Healer
This work was painted five years ago and sold; I enter it here because I am a bit behind in my own choices for this weekly blog. With three other requests underway, I am resorting to a past post. Lately, I notice that my paintings have been a bit tight, and this portrait of Jesus is how I most like and desire to paint–loose and free.
