You wouldn't have to con me into painting a fence.

The Color of Fall

I love the color combination of blue with orange and gold, and to find it along my path is a treat. These are English leaves and American pants; I just had to seize the Kodak moment.

Sacred Sunday

The Ennunciation with Saint Emidius by Carlo Crivelli 1486

I came across this painting several months ago thanks to Sister Wendy. It is a beauty. Makes me wonder if it's a student piece: one to prove to the master that the artist can paint anything.

Well I noticed that it was in the National Gallery in London and so I looked it up and made note of the gallery number. Then I made a trip to the gallery to see specifically this painting and one other. And there it was! Only one problem: that gallery was closed for rehanging. Fortunately only a rope kept me out and I could peer around the ladders for as good of a look as I was going to get. It's a large painting so even from across the room it is a visual feast.

Sister Wendy says: So much is going on here that it takes a long time to enjoy it all.

Next Sunday is the first Sunday in Advent, and the good news is delivered to Mary that she will have a son, Emmanuel. Maybe this is a heavenly view of the event.
