I found these items left for me in my room when I returned home to our Chardon center. The lotus-like candle holder was a connection with the country from which I had just come; capiz shell is used for windows, lights, and decorations all over the Philippines. It is transparent and opaque at the same time. The small statue of Mary in prayerful receiving gesture and uncomplicated shows her also as an open flower. I was just getting back into painting again, when I reached for this instant still life.
