Terry, actually I shudder to think you might look upon my icon and see what I do!
When I look at it, quite honestly, all I see is error. All the lines out of place, the highlights I messed up and blended too much, etc. I do intend to load pics (and this serves as proof as to why Cathy was absent...you KNOW how long this takes!), but oy...
It WAS a wonderful and holy retreat, though. :-) I prob won't say much about it but for the iconography.
Wanna come out with Cathy and I next time we go to Mass there? You are certainly welcome!
Adoro - I wouldn't be critical at all. When I look at my own work - even aside from icons and painting, all I see is error too. God prosper the work of your hands.
I just might come along with the two of you some day. Thanks!

O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you and for those who do not, especially the enemies of the Church and those recommended to you.

Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
Show us your face and we shall be saved. "Each soul is the object of My special love. That is why I am so grateful to those who are resourceful and bringing back sinners to Me. Keep this in mind then. I gave My life for them in the most atrocious torture, for these poor beloved ones. A humble repentance, and they are already on My heart. So speak gently to them. Speak with tenderness. A brusque remark could drive them farther away." - He and I

Now, Terry, be nice to Cathy!
ReplyDeleteShe was just hangin' out with my dog so that I could go on retreat to discern, contemplate, and learn how to write icons!
She couldn't access the internet from my house due to (ongoing) computer issues that would frustrate the calmest of saints!
(Incidentally, I can't watch the vid you posted in her dubious honor but heard it's hilarious)!
Adoro - I hope it was a wonderful retreat - I look forward to reading about it on your blog.

ROFL! How did I miss this? Oh, yeah.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the best wishes on the Wed for Blessed Kateri. It meant a lot to me that you remembered.
