Image: Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, T. Nelson. !980's. Acrylic and gold leaf on panel.
I can't recall the exact date that I painted this image of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel with St.s John and Teresa, but it was sometime in the 1980's. At one time it was used for the cover of Soul magazine - both Spanish and English editions, and prints were subsequently sold through the World Apostolate of Fatima in New Jersey. The original is in the possession of a local Carmelite community of men.
Wow Terry, I didn't realized that you are the original painter of this image. I have this print which I bought it at the WAF in NJ many years ago.
ReplyDeleteYes, wow. This is a magnificent piece.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievably gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLOvely Terry-- thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOur Lady of Mount Carmel Pray for Us.

Adding my appreciation & admiration ! Such peaceful symetry and symbolic use of caramel browns & blue with a central white cloud of purity holding up the Mater Dei creates a lovely of trinity of colour !
ReplyDeleteFr. small world, huh?
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your kind words.
I would love a book of all your icons.
ReplyDeleteNo words aside from little snippets on the back page of every icon just giving a littly synopsis of them...
Wow.
Wow.
So beautiful, Terry!
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a beautiful icon. I have been looking for an image of Our Lady of Mount Carmel to use on a prayer card for my ordination to the permanent Diaconate. Is it possible for me to use this or are there copyright issues?
ReplyDeleteDenis - thanks very much - please feel free to use the image as is - I'm sorry I don't have a better image for you to use - but if you can take it from my post - you are welcome to do so. God bless you!
DeleteTerry...this is one of the most beautiful icons I have seen of Our Lady of Mt.Carmel. I currently am President of the Secular group that meets at the Carmelite Monastery in Philadelphia, PA. We are beginning our novena next week. May I use your image on my blog and FB page regarding the novena...with credits of course. Thanks for your consideration. Blessings~Theresa
ReplyDeleteThanks Theresa - please feel free to use the image. Please pray for me. Thank you very much!

Stunning icon. Is there any way for me to purchase a print? Thank you.
ReplyDelete-Fr. John
Fr. John, I no longer have any prints. I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteHi Terry,
ReplyDeleteMy mother was a third order Carmelite, could we use this image on holy cards for her funeral?
God Bless,
Olivia
I just discovered your comment - by all means, you have my permission to use any image I painted. Prayers for your dear mother.
DeleteI am a Carmelite in England. We love your icon, and would like to reproduce it on the cover of a booklet containing our Association Statutes. Please may we have your permission to do so?
ReplyDeleteGod bless,
Sr Shelagh
Hello Sr. Shelagh - feel free to use the icon for whatever need you have - or any of my images for that matter. You have my permission. Please remember me in your prayers. God bless you.
